It's a cloudy morning after some light snow falling early on.

Light snow this morning and the first day of the season for the Takamagahara Mammoth ski area.

Some more snow on the ground this morning (just a little) with more to come through tomorrow.

Kumanoyu is open from this morning.

I am happy to report that we have received a decent fall of snow overnight.

It might be raining lower down in the valley, but up here in Shiga Kogen it is a cold, snowy and windy morning.

Greetings from a suitably cold and snowy Shiga Kogen. It actually feels nice and wintery this morning.

The roads around central Shiga Kogen are clear this morning, but there was some more snow yesterday that I need to report.

Hello again from Shiga Kogen. I have some snowfall to report
