Good morning from Geto.
It is a Monday morning but it is also a national holiday. Also 'corona' is still with us so will be interesting to see how that compares with usual.
And at risk of boring you.... another 0.5m of snow since yesterday morning with perhaps 60% of that overnight.
And.... it's snowing this morning.
Can you remember back at the beginning of the season when opening was delayed due to there being no snow. At that point it felt a bit -- oh, oh. That seems such a long time ago.
