Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


It was interesting to see a bit of snow fall in some higher areas since my last report a few days ago, but today is absolutely the last day of the 2017-2018 season. Small parts of Kumanoyu and Yokoteyama/Shibutoge are the choices.


And it should be a fine day too.


2017-2018 has been an interesting one for sure. I've enjoyed some excellent days out there, though the feeling that 'spring' started rather early is still in recent thoughts. Anyway, you can re-live the season by reading through all of the daily reports by using the links below. Previous seasons too of course.


Shiga Kogen is a lovely place to be throughout the year, keeping cooler than down in the valleys. It's beautiful too of course, so I highly recommend a visit.


Thanks for reading and see you later in the year.
