Independent snow and weather reporting from the Geto Kogen region of Iwate

2cm
Snowfall at base this season 247cm
Posted on Tuesday 16th December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
Just a little snow to report since the report yesterday; lifts operations were affected by the winds.
We have a much nicer morning. It is cloudy but visibility is good and we can see the whole mountain.
Snow is expected again later on (are they some light flakes of snow falling now?), though more likely sunny skies from mid week and a rather warm weekend is lined up.
The ski area is open and after a few flashes of mid-winter it still feels like we're not fully into the winter season yet. We need a few more blasts to get into a higher gear.
