A few more cm indeed we got yesterday, though not an exciting amount to report.

It is a lovely morning here in Shiga Kogen with the sun shining down on us and everywhere looking all snowy white and extremely skiable/snowboardable!

A bit of a later report today - I was down in town and saying hello to the 'snow monkeys' at Jigokudani. They were all huddled together in the hot spring and looking very relaxed as well.

The snow really turned on yesterday afternoon and this morning we are still in the middle of a very decent snow storm. It is coming down in style at the moment.

It has been snowing since yesterday in the region, though not quite as much as we were expecting with the forecast like it was. Probably 15cm or so since my report on Friday.

Not a whole lot of snow to report since yesterday as it didn't amount to much in terms of cm, and any that did fall was moved about by the winds, and this morning is a cold and sunny start to the day.

This morning there isn't much to see in Shiga Kogen with clouds covering the mountains, snow falling and some strong winds blowing things around as well.

Not much new to report at the moment I'm afraid - at the moment it is still just the one lift at Kumanoyu open.

Good news this morning as we have snow on the ground - yes, a few cm or so here in Maruike area even and snow is falling from the sky as I write this.
