Posted on Tuesday 17th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
More snow! Just over 6cm down at base but another 40cm or so on the mountain according to the ski area (though the cumulative number hasn't changed which seems a bit odd...).
Anyway, it has eased off somewhat this morning but light snow is still falling.
Forecasts seem to show a mix of snow at times and clearer skies at times too over the coming days.
Runs open (planned):
All main courses now open, some with restrictions
Tree run courses not yet open
Official snow depth (reported by the ski area):
