Posted on Saturday 9th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Late report today - apologies!


It has been a fine day here though. About 10-15cm of snow on the slopes by early this morning and while the forecast for the day was cloud and snow at times, it has cleared up to be a fine day. Blue skies up there this afternoon and as we fast approach evening it is still nice and bright. Dark will be upon us quickly now though.


There has been a moderate wind in places through the day but all areas have been open as normal.


The forecast for tomorrow is cloud with a chance of sun and snow showers. So, take your pick! A higher chance of the snow in the evening and into Monday by the looks...


Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:

Ichinose Family

Ichinose Diamond

Yakebitaiyama

Kumanoyu
