Posted on Friday 26th December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
What's the phrase... this is more like it!
Good snow falling this morning.
It was a bit heavy (moisture) when it started early on but nice and light snow now coming down as it gets colder.
5cm now but there will be more, hopefully a fair bit more, to report tomorrow.
Wind is a bit of a problem this morning and disrupting some lifts but it is the price we must pay for the snow.
Clearer skies tomorrow and a few more days beyond, so what we get today will be precious as we try to gear up.
