Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


The ski and snowboard season is now over with the lift at Shibutoge finishing up yesterday afternoon.


It has been a long season and one where we enjoyed large amounts of snow in Shiga Kogen. It was a very nice contrast with the season before and it has us excited for next season. Well, maybe after a bit of a rest and a recharge...! Luckily, Shiga Kogen is a great place to be during the summer months as well as in winter.


I highly recommend you take a look back over the season along with the Snowfall Analysis page (blue tab at the top) to re-live the season and compare it with previous seasons.


That's it from me. Hope you enjoyed Shiga Kogen if you came here and I hope that whether you came here or not, you enjoyed the reports.


Hopefully there'll be a lot of snow to report next season too.


I will be back in the autumn. Have a good summer and see you then.
