Independent snow and weather reporting from the Geto Kogen region of Iwate
New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 558cm
Posted on Friday 11th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
Some strong winds blowing around yesterday morning and the gondola as well as quad lift had to be halted. The Number 1 Gondola got moving from around noon.
Cloudy skies until just before lunch and then snow started falling... fairly heavy (as in consistency) snow and it continued until evening. It was relatively mild.
This morning I have 12cm to report and I think that's your lot for a few days -- clearer skies are likely over the weekend. Hopefully some more of those tree runs will be open as planned...
Monday is a national holiday in Japan.
Next snowfall due around Tuesday.
