Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 13cm

Posted on Wednesday 7th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Another dusting of snow on the ground around my place this morning. Looks like there is a chance of more by tomorrow too and then at the weekend.


I can definitely see a lot of people skiing at Ichinose Family, but it is closed according to official sources. I will try to find out what is going on there. They all seem to have bibs on, so perhaps it's some private thing... While it's definitely not 'deep' conditions, there is obviously enough snow there for people to be skiing. (Because they are!)


Anyway, officially, this is what is open and operating this morning:


- Kumanoyu Number 2 pair lift

- Yokoteyama Number 4 pair lift
