Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Just a few cm of fresh snow to report, from the resorts Yakebitaiyama are reporting 5cm. Right now it is snowing lightly in some areas; eased off in others.
I'm taking a look at the forecast. Tomorrow night through Sunday shows potential for decent snowfall. What we are missing is consistent heavy snowfall, rather than small modest numbers.
But still... snow is not deep yet, but most areas of Shiga Kogen are now at least part open. This morning the official site seems to be proclaiming that all areas of Shiga Kogen are inter-connected open, apart from some steeper areas.
It looks like the connection between Hasuike over to Giant is now open. Yey.
