It is a fine morning here in Shiga Kogen. There's some wispy cloud up there but generally clear conditions and mild, not too far off 0 degrees at the moment. I have no new snow to report, though tomorrow does look like it should be a bit colder and we can expect to see some snowfall. Saturday might be colder still but the forecast is for generally clear skies.

Early next week we can look forward to snowfall on Monday and Tuesday - areas lower down than Shiga Kogen will very likely be seeing rainfall, but up here all being well it will be snowing.

Nighta operations this evening planned at the following resort area:

- Ichinose Family
