The first stop for skiing in Japan is Shiga Kogen. On the first day, we visited Burnt Ridge Mountain, where the weather was sunny with heavy snow. The dry powder on the slopes made for great photos along the sides of the trails. On the second day, we explored Yokote Mountain and Oku-Shiga. It was another sunny day, perfect for capturing the snow monsters at the top of Yokote Mountain. The scenery while skiing down the slopes was breathtaking. Oku-Shiga also offered untouched trails outside the main paths. Looking forward to the rest of the trip! #JapanSkiing #SkiingBeforePhotos #ShigaKogen #JustWantToSki #SeeYouAtThePeakOfTheSeason
