Good morning from Geto.


We have some fresh snow this morning.


It's definitely of the wet and heavy variety, but it is surely better than rain.


Occasionally strong winds with visibility ok lower down but perhaps more limited higher up on the mountain.


Note that the quad lift is now closed for the season. The Number 2 gondola is scheduled to be open on weekends and holidays through until 29th March.
