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


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 17cm

Posted on Thursday 8th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's snowing nicely at the moment. The kind of snow that sticks and, all being well, adds up the cm fairly quickly. Roads are covered, though cars are moving fine, and it feels more like winter. Come on!!!


I would expect to be able to report various lifts opening tomorrow, and there may even be some starting up today.


Information I can find at this moment is that Ichinose Family and Yakebitaiyama will both officially opening from tomorrow.


For today, it's still parts of Yokoteyama and Kumanoyu that are open.


Heavy snow showing on some forecasts for Sunday. Onegai shimasu.
