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


New snowfall at base 31cm
Snowfall at base this season 503cm

Posted on Saturday 1st February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


February begins in style.


Around 30cm of fresh snowfall on the ground since yesterday morning. It was snowing lightly yesterday, a bit more later on and this morning we awake to a lovely new layer. Kind of 'normal' Geto Kogen, as impressive as it is.


With more snow due today as well, so it should be a good day (and beyond).


Tree run courses are closed but I wouldn't be surprise if there was some movement on that during the day. (That is purely a guess, not based on any confirmed information).


Have a good one!
