Morning from Geto Kogen.
This morning the ski area is reporting 33cm of fresh snow on the mountain, and there's about half of that down at base areas... up until now, as it is still snowing with more expected through tomorrow.
Wind might get strong at times too and it is cold with poor visibility. So it's not the most friendly conditions out there and not for everyone. But good snowfall for a few days is just what we need.
