Posted on Wednesday 14th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
The snow (and wind) continues and it is a cold morning.
Another 0.5m on the mountain and a good fair chunk down below too.
The cumulative snowfall number for the season so far - declared by the ski area - has risen to 1001cm this morning.
The first two weeks of 2026 has blessed us with some very good snowfall and it doesn't look like it will be easing off for another few days.
Though less wind would be ideal!
