Good morning from Geto and Happy New Year!


23cm of fresh to start off the reports for 2019 and the official snow depth riding to 285cm.


Yes, it was snowing yesterday - still - but they are really (really!) due to ease off today and leave us with clearer or just cloudy skies.


Hope you can come and enjoy the really good powder conditions sometime soon.


Yoroshiku!


The Rabbit tree run area is now open. Others to follow as soon as possible according to official sources.
