Good morning from Geto.
Suitably ridiculous amounts of snow have been falling here since my report.
Get this. The ski area is reporting 120cm of fresh snowfall over the last 24 hours! And there is 1m on the ground below too. And it is still snowing and due to continue until this evening. It might be getting more windy too.
For the moment though, lifts are scheduled to open but there may be some delays due to the amount of snow.
If you venture out there, try not to disappear in all the snow. (But seriously, be careful, it's a bit wild out there).
All courses are open and the quad is moving.
All of a sudden, so it seems, it's full-on season.
