Good morning from Geto.
After that fabulous delivery of snow up until the morning yesterday, the snow eased off in the afternoon. Strong winds prevented the gondola and quad lift to be closed for the day with just the pair lift operating.
Snow returned again from around 9pm and this morning there is another 13cm of new snow on the ground to keep us nice and fresh..
Just a slight wind this morning and light snow falling early on but generally cloudy conditions is forecast for the day and tomorrow too.
Conditions should be very good this morning. I know where I am heading!
