Good morning from Geto Kogen.


An interesting bunch of numbers for you this morning. 5-6cm at base, but I see the ski area is reporting 52cm of snow on upper areas. Don't usually get such a big difference.


This morning there's cloud but there's blue sky too. It's not too windy but some blasts of wind at times, not enough to affect operations at all. The forecast for tomorrow is cloud with snow at times. Temperatures are keeping fairly low. All good.

All normal courses open.

Planned tree run courses: Rabbit, Heart, Garden, Summit, Beach, Stream, Shooter


Lifts operating (subject to change):

Number 1 lift

Number 1 gondola

Quad lift


Official snow depth:
