Posted on Friday 14th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Geto Kogen.


Another 30cm or so of snow down at base with the ski area this morning I see reporting a cool 50cm higher up.


The wind eased off just a bit yesterday but it's still pretty wild out there. Tomorrow will probably still be snowy but hopefully calmer as the peak of the storm will have passed.


Again lifts will try to open but might encounter problems.


Courses open:

All normal courses open.

Planned tree run courses: Heart, Rabbit, Garden, Summit, Beach, Stream. Opening depends on conditions.


Lifts operating (subject to change):

Some lifts might be affected by wind today.


Official snow depth:

Upper: 425cm

Lower: 270cm
