The snow yesterday didn't end up giving us much in terms of cm but we did get a sprinkling out there. Some stronger winds were with us later on in the day and overnight and this morning it is snowing again in areas of Shiga Kogen. Right here in Maruike now not so much at all, but it's really coming down in Kumanoyu and Okushiga right at this moment. Visibility out there pretty bad as well at the moment.

We're looking good for snowfall today though - the kind that brings us cm to report - and into tomorrow as well. So tomorrow should potentially be a good choice. Temperatures are due to drop right down as well during the daytime today, though there's also going to be a chance of winds playing with lifts. We'll just have to see. If we can get some decent snowfall tonight, I'm looking forward to a fine day tomorrow.

Nighta operations this evening planned at the following resort area:

- Ichinose Family
- Ichinose Diamond
- Kumanoyu
