It's a lovely clear morning in Shiga Kogen, quite the contrast to the conditions that we had yesterday. The snow clouds have moved on after leaving us a bit more snow and the sun is out. Lovely. A very fine day to be out and about on the slopes. It's extremely cold this morning though tomorrow and into the weekend we are expecting milder conditions. Back to snow and cold from around Monday.
