Some snow to report this morning in Shiga Kogen as conditions continue to bounce around and change quickly. The roads have a nice new layer of snow, but it has eased off this morning and actually the sun is out casting big shadows in the Maruike area of Shiga Kogen as I write this report. It's keeping really cold as well with temperatures down into the minus double digits. It was windy overnight but I would say that we got at least 10cm of snow and probably a fair bit more on some of the slopes. Conditions should be good this morning.

It might get slightly milder tomorrow and Friday, but after that we can look forward to more snow topups over the weekend and beyond into next week.

All looking really encouraging actually as winter doesn't give up on us yet!

Nighta operations this evening planned at the following resort area:
