Posted on Thursday 31st January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


There are clear blue skies over Shiga Kogen this calm and quiet morning. It was a cold start too, though we are set to warm up quickly during the day today.


Looks like lots of areas are going to be on the receiving end of some rain on Saturday. Hopefully up here we can avoid that if temperatures stay lower. We certainly have a better chance than lots of other places, so fingers crossed.


Not a whole lot of snow on the week forecast as it stands at the moment, and we are in for our fair share of clearer conditions


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:

Ichinose Family

Ichinose Diamond
