Posted on Sunday 26th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
We have some fresh snow. Not massive amounts, but enough to cover up hard crusts, at least for a while.
Yakebitaiyama were reporting 15cm very early morning and Okushiga Kogen is also reporting 15cm.
With more snow coming around Wednesday - for much of the Japanese mountains it seems - I am hopeful this is the start of our journey back into mid-winter weather conditions!
