Shiga Kogen is a really great place to visit all year. I had a drive up there last week. The views were good, though a little hazy meaning that the distant views weren't there for us. Yokoteyama was still open. And the bread shop up there is great - worth a visit! Here's my gallery: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/insider/photo_section.php?userGallery=136&userid=snowboardingsamAnd just a few:

Looks really good, I like those winding roads.
Was it cold up there?

Down in Yamanouchi (the town) it was about 24 degrees.
At the base of the Shiga Kogen area, like in Sun Valley, it was about 18 degrees.
At the top there, it was actually quite cold and very windy. Not sure on the temperature but I was quite cold even with my jacket on over a t-shirt.

Yes. Big place. You can stay as well right at the top there. I bet it's chilly on a mid-winter night!
