Posted on Thursday 16th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Geto.


5cm fresh snowfall on the ground this morning from overnight, and light snow falling early morning. Hopefully we will get snow through today and perhaps some tomorrow too.


Not much of a wind and visibility looks fairly decent at the moment.


We need more snow for more of the tree run courses to open - still just Rabbit and Summit open. All of the normal main courses of the resort are of course open.
