Posted on Wednesday 29th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Perhaps today is the day we transition back to mid-winter conditions. It feels like it might be the case. It is snowing in some places (Okushiga Kogen), but still kind of sunny in others. Varied weather.


But the snow clouds are certainly due to move in and take control. And maybe for a few days with wind also possibly being a factor.


A complete reset in time for the weekend sounds like a great plan.
