Good morning from Geto Kogen.


It's snowing. There's a light wind and it's not too cold. Visibility is limited. But - as my Myoko colleague said in a recent report - it doesn't snow on a clear and sunny day.


As we still have less snow than we usually expect by the end of December, we could do with a few days of proper Geto-style heavy snow.


So bring it on, I say!


All main courses open; tree runs - not yet.
