Posted on Sunday 30th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Lovely day yesterday and got quite warm midday. It's even warmer this morning with temperatures above zero. +4 here in Maruike.
And rain is falling.
As you might expect, no new snow to report. So cloudy skies and rain (borderline sleet in places) but more importantly a moderate wind in exposed places which is affecting lift operations at some of the ski areas this morning.
Temperatures are forecast to drop later on today and I am hoping I can report fresh snow in tomorrows report. Snow clouds due over Shiga Kogen through the coming week, so fingers crossed we can get a decent amount out of them.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
Ichinose Family
Ichinose Diamond
Yakebitaiyama
Kumanoyu
