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


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 227cm

Posted on Sunday 29th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


First up, Yakebitaiyama reporting 30cm early this morning, they must have got a lot more than the rest of us over there.


Feels like weather is changing quickly this morning.


We have had some spells of blue sky and sunshine.


Now we have a mix of cloud and clearer skies in places, though it feels like the cloud is going to win out with more snow due today. A bit windy too.


Excellent snow conditions to enjoy right now.


The official live status map this morning shows all ski areas open, with just a few showing as 'part open' (Terakoya, Nishidateyama, Sun Valley and a few runs over at Kumanoyu and Yokoteyama).


For the most part, though, most of the area is now open and connected.


Sunny skies expected tomorrow morning.
