Good morning from Geto Kogen.
Up to 11cm of snow being reported this morning by the ski area and I see their total has zoomed up to over 17m of snowfall for the season.
The snowfall numbers for recent days have been very modest for Geto, hopefully we can get some bigger numbers again. It's still February!
This morning all lifts open as it is a national holiday in Japan and it should be busy.
