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


New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 48cm

Posted on Monday 4th December 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Some fresh snow overnight. Kumanoyu reported just 5cm, but I measured more than that (and my friend close to Yakebitaiyama said 'over 10cm'). A fairly nice layer out there, anyway.


The day started with a lot of cloudy but it has gradually been getting brighter and sunny. There looks set to be a lot of that over the coming days and while it is pretty cold this morning it will also be getting milder with Saturday being the peak.


As far as I can tell ski areas operations are the same as we enter the week.
