Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


Golden Week is over and today it's 'back to work' for many. It's a grey, cloudy and damp morning. A bit windy, too.


Just two ski lifts are still operating in Shiga Kogen: the Yokoteyama Number 4 pair and the Shibutoge pair lift. Open from 7:30am until 3:00pm.


They will keep going for basically as long as they are able to!
