I think it is safe to post an early report today as we are in the middle of this run of fine and sunny and mild spring weather.

This spell of clear and calm conditions looks set to continue into the next weekend.

We are now entering the last week of the season for a number of the ski resorts in Shiga Kogen - as noted below. But there's still a long way to go in the season for some others.
