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


New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 20cm

Posted on Saturday 30th November 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


Good news too!


A real wintery night and a decent amount of fresh snowfall has covered everywhere. I am adding 12cm to the report; Kumanoyu are reporting 15cm of fresh snowfall; my friend over near Okushiga is saying 'over 20cm'. This is what we want. Actually, always want more, but you know what I mean!


Kumanoyu is again part open from this morning. They have their Number 2 pair lift operating (up to mid-station) and plan on the day from 8:30am until 4:15pm.


While it is still cloudy we might get some clearer skies later on and very probably some sunshine tomorrow as well as milder temps.


We should be back to colder conditions early week, hopefully with more fresh snow.
