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


New snowfall at base 33cm
Snowfall at base this season 674cm

Posted on Monday 21st January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's another Monday morning already. Weekend crowds are gone and it should be a fairly quite day.


And those here will be delighted to find 30+cm of fresh snow on the ground and on the mountain. Not sure I was expecting that much, seems to have gotten stronger during the night, but thank you!


And! It is still snowing and the forecast now seems to be saying snow during the day. Stronger than normal winds likely this morning but hopefully all will be open as planned.


So, I am going to strap my skis on once I post this and go out to try it all.
