Posted on Sunday 7th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
20cm of new fresh snow overnight here in Shiga Kogen.
Yakebitaiyama are part open from this morning and planned to have the Number 2 Gondola and Number 4 Romance lift operating, though it seems that early on the Gondola is having some electrical problems (doh!) - hopefully they'll get that sorted quickly.
Yokoteyama is also part open from this morning. They have the Yokoteyama First Sky B Line and Yokoteyama Second Sky lifts operating, with lower parts of the resort open.
Kumanoyu have also opened up a bit more terrain and now have the Fourth Pair lift operating. Was just up there a bit earlier and quite a few people around including my first look at large groups of what I presume was a school trip... they're in early!
Snow clouds due to ease off today and tomorrow we might see sunny conditions in the region. Next snowfall after this looking due towards next weekend.
