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


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 62cm

Posted on Thursday 2nd December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It is a beautiful morning in Shiga Kogen.


It didn't start with these blue skies - rather, some snow falling. But the clouds are clearing and the sun is out. Colder than yesterday too thankfully.


The Yakebitaiyama ski area is also now part open and more of Yokoteyama is operating as well. So it looks like there are now five individual areas of Shiga Kogen that are now part open.


We might see some snow falling again on Saturday but apart from that the forecast for the coming weeks looks more sunny than snowy. Let us hope that the temperatures remain low.


Ski areas currently part open in Shiga Kogen:


- Yokoteyama

- Kumanoyu

- Ichinose Family

- Takamagahara Mammoth

- Yakebitaiyama
