Posted on Wednesday 31st January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It was a very cold start to the day and has been a cold morning in Shiga Kogen.
The sun is out.
Blue skies.
Beautiful!
The forecast is looking pretty tasty too as we approach February with regular snow there on the forecast starting tomorrow. Looks like early morning Saturday riders should be in for a treat.
So tomorrow it's Friday. Some lifts here in Shiga Kogen operate through until mid or late May in a normal year. That means we have over three months left.
Gambarimasu!
(The snow I am reporting today arrived mostly yesterday morning after my report).
