Posted on Sunday 12th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning.


Just some light snow overnight after a generally fine day, starting as sleet but turning to snow meaning I can add 2cm to the reports.


This morning seems like it should be fine again. Some cloud around. Some blue sky. A lovely sunrise earlier.


It is calm and relatively mild.


The Summit and Rabbit tree run courses are now open as well as all of the normal courses at the resort.


Today is the second day of the long weekend so we can expect it to be busy once again.
