Posted on Friday 1st May 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
Some strong winds since last night and a foggy and damp and drizzly kind of early morning. Rain is expected through today.
It's definitely not the most appealing of weather conditions, but the ski area bravely battles on!
Perhaps some improved visibility and less rain tomorrow but wind is going to stick around at least until the end of tomorrow.
