Good morning from Geto Kogen.


The snow has been continuing with another 33cm to add from base this morning and over 50cm being reported up top.


It is a cold morning too with a bit of wind, gusty at times.


We might get some brighter spells today and snow is forecast for tomorrow too. Clearer skies likely from Tuesday for a day or two.


The varying snow depth numbers is likely due to the ski area going about dealing with all the sudden snowfall...


The Number 1 Gondola appears to need some kind of work done to it and so will be closed for a few days. Along with that the upper part of A1 course, A4 and A6 courses will be closed.
