Hello!
More snow and another good amount of it too with the ski area reporting 43cm from the mountain.
Base measurement today is over 30cm.
Wind was strong yesterday and so blowing the snow around making for some challenging weather. Today is also going to be windy.
It is still snowing this morning - there's more to come.
Might need to keep an eye on the wind re: lift disruption.
Snow-wise, it is increasingly feeling like what we expect here in Geto Kogen, I'm happy to say.
