Posted on Saturday 28th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Lots of lovely light snow this morning, and it is still coming down at a moderate to heavy rate with limited visibility and cold temperatures. There is some wind but it doesn't seem to be affecting lifts, though some are delayed opening due to the general conditions we have early on.
Yakebitaiyama were reporting 25cm of fresh snow as of 7:30am. There will be more than that in places (a friend who works on lifts said there's 'up to 50cm in places').
This snow will probably ease off and we might be lucky to get some breaks in the cloud at times tomorrow.
