From Snowy Peaks to Digital Guides: Nagano's Shiga Kogen Embraces AI for Your Next Adventure

冬の渋峠スキー場で撮影された一枚。雪に覆われた針葉樹が立ち並ぶ静かなスロープに、一人のスノーボーダーが立ち尽くしている。奥にはリフトがうっすらと見え、空は曇りがかったグレー。自然の静寂と荘厳さが同居する風景。 A winter scene at Shibu Pass Ski Resort in Japan. A lone snowboarder stands still on a snow-covered slope, surrounded by frost-covered conifer trees. A ski lift fades into the misty background under a gray, overcast sky―capturing a moment of serene solitude and frozen beauty.

Day 137 Shiga Kogen
After the crazy winds yesterday, and the heavy rains last night, the pistes were in a rough condition, so I only skied for an hour this morning before leaving.

Day 136 Shiga Kogen
Crazy high winds shut down the lifts this morning so my buddies and I carried our skies and a walked a ways up the slope and did three short runs. It was lots of fun but it did make me appreciate the lifts.

Day 135 Shiga Kogen
To avoid the line up and get the most out of the perfect 6AM pistes, I’ve been getting to the gondola at 5AM and waiting around talking with the other early birds. Met a talented young #snowboarder this morning.

Day 134 Shiga Kogen
Friends came up from #Karuizawa yesterday and we maxed out their four hour passes by skiing non-stop except for a short potty break. Really fun day, great conditions, great weather. Skied 40km yesterday.

Day 133 Shiga Kogen
So, it’s officially #GoldenWeek today and the crowds are out in force, and of course it starts #snowing hard just as the early bird session is about to start at 6AM lol Normally it’s shorts weather now, fwiw.
⛷️⛷️⛷️

Day 132 Shiga Kogen
Yesterday was a blast. Conditions were good and I met a cool skier on the gondola who is a company test rider for one of the major motorcycle companies here in Japan. Very interesting conversations.

Sunday was fab this week with great #snow and weather conditions, and relatively small crowds despite heading into the #GoldenWeek holidays.

Day 130 Shiga Kogen
Last Saturday was a big improvement over the previous few days of sticky snow but the weather was very warm. Lots of folks got out for the impending #GoldenWeekHolidays, too.

Day 129 Shiga Kogen
Significantly better conditions this morning with cooler temperatures improving the snow but still had the “ski grabbing demons” as the Japanese call sticky snow after 8AM. They also call it “stop snow.”
⛷️⛷️⛷️
#ski #skiing #japan #japow #shigakogen #nagano #yamanouchi
Day 128 Shiga Kogen
Too much water in the snow caused “stop snow” for most of this morning putting the damper on an otherwise gorgeous day. Stop snow occurs in the Speing when the water in the snow seems to grab your skis.

Day 126 Shiga Kogen
Tuesday this week was superb as well. I really love getting speed on this part of the #Shirakaba run at #Yakebitaiyama. Around the 4 second mark on in the video you can hear my skis getting air for a sec.
⛷️⛷️⛷️

Day 125 Shiga Kogen
Monday was much better with lower temps in the morning and lots of faster pistes throughout the early morning session. Apparently #Yakebitai pulled snow out of storage and regroomed for much cleaner runs.
⛷️⛷️⛷️

Day 124 Shiga Kogen
It was ridiculously warm this morning, even for this time of year. Snow was dirty, too soft… but I was still able to get in a decent two hours this morning. Met some nice folk from Nagano in line, too.
⛷️⛷️⛷️

Day 123 Shiga Kogen
Yet another great 6AM session at #Yakebitaiyama. It was a bit more crowded this morning being Saturday, but I think most people are still at home till the big #GoldenWeek holiday next week.

Day 122 Shiga Kogen
Yet another record breaking day. This time I beat my lifetime speed record and got over 120km/h. This is a bit dangerous so I think I’m going to focus on more turning the rest of the season. Superb conditions.

Day 121 Shiga Kogen
Gorgeous warm day yesterday and the pistes got soft quickly in the sun. Fortunately my buddy and I were on the slopes at 6am when the fisted were still 🚀 fast and I broke my personal speed record again at 113km/h.

Skied #Yokoteyam and #Shibu yesterday. Snow was terrific but visibility was low due to fog. #CrumpetCafe was excellent.

Day 119 Shiga Kogen
High winds closed the gondolas again this morning at #Yakebitai but I was able to ski a few runs on the pair chairlift until the bizarro April 15th snow storm hit the resort at 6:45AM😂

Day 118 Shiga Kogen
After the rains and high temperatures Sunday evening, yesterday was a bit soft on the pistes but otherwise it was great since there were almost no other skiers during the 6AM-8AM earlybird session.
⛷️⛷️⛷️

Day 117 Shiga Kogen
High winds closed the gondolas this morning so just got in a few runs on the old slow pair chairlift at #Yakebitaiyama. Pistes were not bad, though.
