Posted on Sunday 26th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Feels cold early on this morning and light snow is falling; heavier in some places (hello Okushiga).
Early morning, Yakebitaiyama were reporting 20cm of fresh snowfall; Kumanoyu are reporting 5cm. I have measured 5-10cm at my multiple points around Ichinose.
My report this morning is too early for many of the ski area updates. It is a bit windy out there this morning, and some lifts may well be affected by that.
Calmer, clearer and milder weather is forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday.
