Hello from Shiga Kogen.


Can't say I was expecting that bout of snow (but perhaps it's because my mind is unavoidably partly elsewhere now).


Kumanoyu are this morning reporting 20cm of fresh again; Yakebitaiyama being shy with a number. But there's a nice decent layer of fresh snow out there for anything willing to partake.


After the snow, sunshine and clearer skies.


All areas and connections at Shiga Kogen remain open.
