A bit of snow falling last night but I don't have any cm of snow to report at the start of the day.

Cloudy is how we are starting this last day of March.

Today is the last day of the season when all of the areas of Shiga Kogen remain open - it's the last day of the season for some lifts and Sunday sees other areas closing and those details are below.
