Posted on Tuesday 26th March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Another cold start to the day today, colder than yesterday actually. Almost winter like temperatures again.


More importantly.... snow! The roads have dried up already this morning but it was snowing earlier on and there has been a dusting in lower areas and some resorts are reporting up to 10cm of fresh snow on the slopes. Not bad. That report coming from Yakebitaiyama by the way. So a bit of a freshen up and good to see some snow on the trees.


Now nice blue skies all round so it should be a fine spring day to enjoy some sliding.


Tomorrow will very likely be considerably warmer than today.


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort area:
