Posted on Saturday 2nd March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Some 'wetness' yesterday... I can't bring myself to say the word... but a return to colder temps this morning and some snowfall as well, though it has stopped snowing now. Just a bit on the roads, enough to make them whiter than they were yesterday. I said the snow has stopped and actually there's a bit of sun out here in Maruike at the moment. Fast moving clouds mean it's out and then hidden again quickly. But as forecast, changeable conditions this morning.
Some resort areas are reporting disruptions to lift operations.
The wind should calm down for tomorrow and then this week we should see a run of clearer days but keeping fairly cold until the end of the week when a warm up again is likely.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
Ichinose Family
Ichinose Diamond
Kumanoyu
