A very good morning to you.


Loads of snow! Just how we like it.


Okushiga Kogen is reporting 50cm and Kumanoyu is reporting 40cm of fresh snowfall this morning. Great stuff. This feels like a Shiga Kogen mid-winter morning.


Visibility is limited at best this morning and very poor in places.


Tomorrow clearer skies are forecast. It will surely be a treat for anyone able to be here.
