Good morning from Geto Kogen.


Yesterday was a mostly cloudy day with snow starting to fall early morning - 8cm down at base so far with a bit more than that being reported by the ski area on the mountain (13cm).


Forecast for today is a mix of snow showers and cloud. Not too windy just now but that might be varied as well during the day.


From tomorrow and beyond there isn't much snow on the forecast and the increasing chance that this snow we have had the last few days might be the last (decent) snow of the season. We shall see! Geto plans to be open until 8th May.
