Morning from Geto Kogen.


More snow this morning as it continues to pile up as Geto plans to get-o into full gear from tomorrow with 'regular' operations planned. (See what I did there?)


Night skiing is due to begin from tomorrow too.


A later than planned start to the season, for sure, but we're in very good shape. Official snow depth at top... 300cm!


There seem to be delays in the update of some info as everyone deals with all the snow.
