Super Snow


Heavy snowfall during the night, with a total of more then 1 meters of snow in front of the hotel. Today during the morning only 1 lift in the whole of Shiga Kogen was able to run. Through out the day a couple more where able to get some movement, but a total of 5 lifts run was the max (this out of 74 lifts).
