Shiga Kogen is a resort in Nagano (Japan) skied between 1330 and 2307 metres, with 80 km of pistes and 52 lifts.
The camera shows real visibility and snow on the ground, not the forecast. Snow depth by altitude — 1330 to 2307 m — and the days ahead are in the Shiga Kogen snow report.
Which lifts and runs Shiga Kogen opens is published by the resort every morning and changes with the wind: the upper ones, up to 2307 m, are the most exposed. If the camera is a white blur mid-morning, that is usually why.
