Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Good news! All ski areas in Shiga Kogen are now officially open from today, according to the official website. Not all runs are available but looking at the open map I'd say we're at around 80%, perhaps more.
Kumanoyu are reporting just 10cm of fresh snowfall. Yakebitaiyama are reporting 30cm. It is good and cold and the snow quality is excellent.
There is still a lot of cloud about and snow is still falling in areas - brighter and even a bit of sun in places - but it should be stopping during the day.
Over the next few days the forecast is for more of a chance of clearer skies and sun, with snow due again from Wednesday. That should take us into the New Year.
