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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 25cm

Posted on Friday 6th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Shiga Kogen.


5cm of snowfall to add this morning at base (here in Ichinose and that is what Kumanoyu are also reporting). It is a cold morning and the snow is nice and light.


I would expect more to be opening for the weekend. All I can confirm right at the moment is that Kumanoyu are planning on being open to summit from tomorrow.


These areas are currently part open:


- Ichinose Family: Number 2 pair lift A line operating

- Kumanoyu: Number 2 pair lift A & B line operating

- Takamagahara Mammoth: Number 2 triple lift operating
