Posted on Tuesday 6th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Fresh snow overnight amounting to 10-20cm.
Yakebitaiyama ski area is reporting 20cm early this morning.
It has been a cold morning.
There should be a nice layer out there this morning across all of the ski areas.
Earlier snow has now eased and it is just generally cloudy, though there are some sings of light blue sky in some places. It feels like that is increasing and we might even get some sunshine. (And a good possibility of that during the day tomorrow).
I'm taking the snow depth data list off the page until the official site is fixed up.
All ski areas open.
