Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 10cm Snowfall at base this season 687cm Posted on Wednesday 3rd March 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here . Good morning from Shiga Kogen. It's one of those 'and after the storm, clearer weather' things going on this morning. After the storm that included wind, rain, sleet and was generally kind of nasty, it's nice to have a calmer morning. There is blue sky and cloud and even some snow still falling in some areas. Kumanoyu are reporting 15cm of fresh. Yakebitaiyama are reporting 5cm. It is one of those times when it'll be different not only due to location but the wind that was blowing it around. I have measured 10cm. The coming days will likely feature more sun than snow, Friday in particularly being relatively mild. Though it doesn't look like it will be alarmingly so.

The latest Madarao Now report can be found here . Hello from Madarao. Don't know why but the report that I wrote this morning didn't appear. Probably my mistake, but anyway this is a re-write. Sorry about that. When I first came to writing the report, I was celebrating fresh snow and light snow was still coming down with a lot of cloud. Come lunchtime there's increasing blue sky around and the sun is out when not being hidden by moving cloud. You can probably see on the images below... not many people about.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Zao region of Yamagata New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 376cm Posted on Thursday 25th February 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here . And the best slope today goes to Sunrise. Although it snowed during yesterday, it felt more for ambience than anything else. However, it has made a difference to the slopes overall, but there is still a lot of ice around. The Kurohime Giant is closed as being mainly a steep ice field and a fall at the top would take you to the bottom. Most others areas have large swathes of ice, but, if you stick to where the piste basher has been, that combined with the 1-2cm of snow makes them mostly ok. Off that, you can encounter nasty wavy glass ice. Half of the Ohira course is still sheet ice. Sunrise is the only fully clear decent slope. The trees are beautiful so make the most of those Kodak moments as they will disappear by the weekend I reckon. The slopes are naturally running very fast so make sure your edges are keen and allow for braking distance. The clouds are racing just above the top of Chuo No. 2 but no real wind on the slopes. The sun has been in and out so a varied day in terms of blue skies. Otherwise it is bright and clear.
