Shiga Kogen Ski Areas: Webcams, Snow & Trail Maps

Shiga Kogen connects 18 high-elevation ski areas on one pass. Compare webcams, snow depth and conditions from Ichinose to Yokoteyama.

Yokoteyama and Shibutoge reach close to 2,300 metres, some of the highest lift-served terrain in the country. Ichinose and Yakebitaiyama hold most of the lodging and suit beginners and intermediates.
