Posted on Saturday 5th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
The sun has been shining down on us so far today, something of a contrast to yesterday and good timing for the weekend.
A beautiful day. Not much else to say really! Cold start with temperatures down to -18C early on but warming up - slightly - with the sun.
Hard packed snow covered roads that aren't melting away even this afternoon.
A definte feel good day and not too busy out there actually. I had a few runs at Kumanoyu and the were lifts going up there with no people on them. Nice.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
Ichinose Family
Ichinose Diamond
Yakebitaiyama
Kumanoyu
