Hello from Geto Kogen.
Fine weather yesterday and fine weather today, and it's going to be rather warm... up to mid-teens.
Tomorrow might be cloudy and a chance of rain but we should be back to clearer weather again on Sunday and Monday.
Snow is getting fairly thin in places, but still a decent amount of the hill is open. Think spring conditions.
