Warm conditions yesterday continued and we have definitely seen a fair bit of snow melt.

This morning it's cloudy, somewhat colder and light snow is lazily falling from the sky early on. Not going to make much in terms of cm like that, but from later on today into tomorrow and Sunday that system is moving in that should bring with it decent amounts of snow.

I would expect more areas, runs and lifts open from tomorrow. With all of the different resorts in Shiga Kogen doing their own updates (or not as the case sometimes is) it's difficult to bring you the latest on that front.

I'll try to post a report with all of the latest details I can find tomorrow morning.
