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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 476cm

Posted on Monday 9th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


We had some blowing winds overnight as well as a bit of fresh but the thing about this morning is the cold. Very cold indeed. Yakebitaiyama are reporting a temperature of -18C!


And perhaps surprisingly some blue skies above and I just had to close the blinds on the window as the sun was shining through.... the slopes are looking very inviting this morning.


Snowfall is expected - maybe this afternoon or tonight...


For now though, wrap up well and enjoy those quiet slopes.
