Posted on Saturday 8th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Morning from Shiga Kogen.
It is definitely colder. And there is a dusting of snow on the ground. I am going to be rather generous by adding 1cm to the report (but I will take into account the few added mm next time).
Kumanoyu are back open again from this morning.
And the forecast is good for snow with a decent amount due starting tonight and into the coming week.
Could this be the turning point? I think we all hope so!
