Hello and good morning from Shiga Kogen.

All change It's the last day of the long weekend. It is a fine morning so I think some might be delaying their departure until later in the day and make the most of it.

Back to a weekday tomorrow and hopefully more fresh in the coming week. Let's looking at the forecasts.

All areas and connections at Shiga Kogen are now open (with just a few minor exceptions).
