Snowfall at base this season 292cm

Posted on Friday 27th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Light snow has been falling in some places this morning, but here in Hasuike it is just cloudy and calm at the moment. Some varied conditions early this morning.


While we might get some clearer brighter spells this morning, snow is ultimately due today and in particular later on and tonight - and into tomorrow morning. If forecasts are right, tomorrow should be another cold and snowy one. Good conditions too!


This cold period is due to continue into at least the first part of next week.
