The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here . More snow! Yes, the fresh snow just keeps on falling on us here in Shiga Kogen. Can you tell how happy I am?

We're not expecting a whole lot of snowfall today, perhaps just light snow. The heavier snowfall is due back tomorrow night though and snowy conditions should continue into the weekend too. There's not much sun on the forecasts for the moment! (Maybe a bit today at times). It's a good time to be here. Try to get here is my advice!

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Niseko region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 4cm Snowfall at base this season 498cm Posted on Wednesday 8th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Niseko Now report can be found here Good morning and hello - and my apologies for the late report today. 'Unavoidable stuff' is my excuse! Yesterday didn't totally clear up but we did have periods of blue sky and some sunshine - and lots of wind. I have 4cm of fresh overnight snow to report to you this morning. Light snow was falling earlier on this morning, it wasn't snowing when I started this report, but it is snowing again now. Doh! The good news is that the wind is much calmer and this morning all of the lifts that should be moving are open. I would expect with the conditions yesterday and the wind blowing everything around that it will be a mix of nice fresh snow in places but icy in others. Need to keep that in mind. I'm looking at a few different forecasts here and they tell slightly different stories. I suppose the main thing to take from them is that while we may get some more snow later tomorrow and Friday, I wouldn't expect anything major. Snow clouds are forecast to be with us over the weekend too and so hopefully we'll get something out of them. Have a fun day. --- Niseko Avalanche Report: Niseko base 6.00am: -5°, 10cm new snow.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 25cm Snowfall at base this season 801cm Posted on Tuesday 7th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here . On and off snowy and windy conditions since yesterday, and at the moment the wind is still blowing around the fine snow that is falling making for rather wild conditions outside. It's making it hard to put a number on the snowfall again this morning, but after checking my various measuring points and speaking with a few friends I'm going with 25cm. (Just to give you an idea of how the numbers can vary, the official site is reporting 35cm while Kumanoyu are reporting 5-10cm! Hmmmm.) Whatever, there's a nice fresh blanket of snow out there once again and with more on the way too... there's not much in terms of clear weather conditions shown on the weekly forecast though wind will perhaps be less of an issue from tomorrow. Anyway, things continue to go well for us here in Shiga Kogen. If you are planning on being here come prepared for snowy conditions - and good snow on the slopes!
