Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
As noted in an update to the last report, Sunday 26th April was the last day of the season for skiing at Ichinose Family.
The other ski areas in the list below continue to have limited courses available.
Golden Week officially begins from tomorrow with just Wednesday as a national holiday this week.
We had some rain yesterday and it was rather chilly. Fine weather and a bit warmer this morning, but at the moment it looks like there might be a bit of rain tomorrow and it will get colder again.
Up and down at the moment.
