Weather at Shigakogen Mountain Resort
Weather at Shigakogen Mountain Resort: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway.
What the weather at Shigakogen Mountain Resort is usually like
The ski area runs from 1,340 to 2,307 m above sea level - a 967 m vertical. In January the daytime average is -3 °C at the base and -9 °C at the summit. Plan for that 6 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. The summit sits around -9 °C at the same time of year - at that point the wind matters more than the thermometer.
Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from December through March.
The season usually runs from 21 November to 16 May.
By March the base is around 3 °C while the summit still holds -3 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
