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


New snowfall at base 25cm
Snowfall at base this season 78cm

Posted on Saturday 28th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It was a bit of a wild afternoon yesterday and I think some of the lifts open were stopped.


And this morning more of the Shiga Kogen areas are opening up now that we have more snow.


Okushiga Kogen is open from both bases and I notice that Hoppo-Bunadaira is also now open. It's still limited and not fully inter-connected though, so keep that in mind.


The fresh snowfall though will definitely have improved conditions for this morning.


These areas are currently part open, subject to change:


- Sun Valley

- Maruike

- Takamagahara Mammoth

- Ichinose Family

- Ichinose Diamond

- Tannenomori

- Yakebitaiyama

- Okushiga Kogen

- Maruike

- Hasuike

- Kumanoyu

- Yokoteyama
