Posted on Sunday 6th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Variable weather here in Shiga Kogen this morning.


From where I am writing in Maruike, there is a bit of sunlight peeking through the clouds every now and again. There is a lot of cloud around this morning though and in places light snow is falling. Only light though, nothing major at all.


Clear and sunny conditions are very likely tomorrow and perhaps the day after. It's going to be around Wednesday before we can expect the next potential decent snowfall.


Surprisingly quiet on the lifts this morning when I took a quick drive around earlier on...


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:

Ichinose Family

Ichinose Diamond
