Posted on Tuesday 26th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Shiga Kogen.


The sometimes very strong winds from yesterday have calmed down somewhat this morning, though it is still windy in places from what I hear, and might still affect some more exposed lifts.


I am actually seeing some sun at the moment, after a very pretty sunrise earlier. Right now the clouds are gathering and it is generally cloudy with decent visibility.


Snow is expected later and potentially heavy snow over the next few days.
