Posted on Sunday 6th December 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
A good morning to you from Shiga Kogen.
So yesterday we saw a number of resort areas open up courses and get lifts moving, and below I have added all of the information available for you for each of the areas open, which are: Ichinose Family, Kumanoyu, Takamagahara Mammoth, Yakebitaiyama and Yokoteyama.
This morning lots of cloud about and even a bit of sun as well - the dusting of snow overnight is probably the last that will fall for a number of days now. The general trend this week is for clearer conditions and as we head into the early week expecting sunshine and slightly warmer temperatures. Hopefully it will remain cold enough for the snow that is here to keep.
The end of the coming week is looking good for more snow. I'll keep you updated on that as we get closer...
