Independent snow and weather reporting from the Geto Kogen region of Iwate

Posted on Wednesday 18th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning all.


There's more fresh snow on the ground this morning with over 10cm overnight and probably more higher up on the mountain. It's not particularly cold and the snow isn't peak season quality, but it is of course welcome and the mountain is in good shape.


The snow is likely to ease off and we are due some clearer skies tomorrow.


The Number 2 pair lift will be closed after Sunday.
