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

Snowfall at base this season 425cm

Posted on Friday 28th February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


More fresh snow to report this cold morning.


Kumanoyu are reporting 20cm of fresh snow; the Yakebitaiyama resort area is reporting a whopping 50cm 'since yesterday' (whilst adding just 10cm to their official snow depth number... I know... take it up with them, not me!)


Whatever, fresh snow is good to report. And conditions should be good this morning.


Cloud and some light snow lingering early morning but there are some areas with the sun trying to peek through. Whether that's just a blip or a sign of a clear up, we'll just have to see.


All areas and connections at Shiga Kogen are now open (with just a few minor exceptions).
