Posted on Friday 5th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It was just cloudy when I got up earlier on but snow is now falling... and falling nicely as well.
It's coming down the best it has so far this season and if it continues like this we are on for some good new cm. The forecast is good for today and tomorrow in terms of snow, so perhaps this weekend we will be able to see more opening up.
Great to see the snow falling... more! More! More!
Kumanoyu has managed to widen the open course it has due to the new snowfall, adjusted below. Expect more changes soon!
Still very limited operations at the moment as we wait for the snow to change things:
Takamagahara
The lower run is open, with the Number 2 triple lift moving
Ichinose Family
The Number 2 Pair A line is moving and there's a 380m long and 30m wide course open
Kumanoyu
Number 2 Pair A and B lifts are servicing a 600m long and 60-70m wide course.
