Snowy greetings from Shiga Kogen.
20+cm of snow on the ground this morning and more forecast before the weekend kicks in.
It is quite windy too at the moment. Very winter-y.
It looks like we can expect Takamagahara Mammoth (the Number 2 triple lift) and Ichinose Family (Number 2 pair lift) to both open from Saturday.
Kumanoyu was closed yesterday and will be closed again today due to some kind of lift maintenance. It should be open again from tomorrow.
So for today, it's just Yokoteyama that is part open.
Full report details will be added from the weekend.
