Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 328cm

Posted on Monday 27th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Blue skies over Shiga Kogen this morning, with the clouds maybe clearing up sooner than we expected them to.


But we did have a bit of a wild night with snow coming down and strong winds. It's much calmer now though.


I was just over at Ichinose and saw hundreds of ski school students warming up which certainly was a sight. Wouldn't like to be queueing up behind all them! Fairly easy to avoid though and lots to choose from here.


OK back to conditions. New snow refresh and nice weather means it should be a very good morning here. Looks like we might see quite a bit of sun over the next few days.
