Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
It is a cloudy/foggy kind of morning with some fresh snowfall on the mountains (though not a whole lot on the ground - Kumanoyu reporting 5cm).
Looks like there are 5 lifts moving this morning, with Ichinose Family and Takamagahara Mammoth joining the party.
Heavy snow is most welcome to said party. Social distancing not require for the snowflakes. In fact, actively discouraged!
It's still very limited and disconnected but good to see some action.
Taking a look at the forecast there isn't a whole lot of snow on there, best change being early in the week into Tuesday.
