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

Snowfall at base this season 18cm

Posted on Friday 9th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's a fine morning here in Shiga Kogen.


Blue skies and sunshine. Quite cold to start off with but it will probably get somewhat milder feeling later on. Fine weather due tomorrow too, followed by snow on Sunday.


From this morning, the Yakebitaiyama and Ichinose Family ski areas are part open, joining Yokoteyama and Kumanoyu.


At Yakebitaiyama, the Number 4 romance pair lift is operating with the South Course open (973m).


At Ichinose Family the Number 2 pair lift is operating with 400m of course open.


There might be more tomorrow (I am hearing rumours that Mammoth might be trying to open).


My report might be later tomorrow as I made some adjustments and try and collect as much information as possible.
