Posted on Friday 7th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Not a whole lot of snow to report since yesterday as it didn't amount to much in terms of cm, and any that did fall was moved about by the winds, and this morning is a cold and sunny start to the day.


Once this coming weekend is over, and if the forecast is correct, we can expect more of the areas to be open next week. We are still expecting moderate to heavy snowfall and strong winds over the weekend.


Right now we have part of the following resorts open:


Takamagahara Mammoth - 1 lift

Ichinose Family - 1 lift

Yakebitaiyama - 2 lifts (including No2 Gondola)

Kumanoyu - 1 lifts

Yokoteyama - 3 lifts


Please note that the next report will be posted on Sunday.
