Posted on Tuesday 28th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Hello from Geto Kogen.


Tons of snowfall. The ski area this morning on their official site is reporting a whopping 100cm of new snow on the upper areas of the mountain.


Down here it's just a piffling 60cm. ;)


The taps are turned to on.


I'm finding the new look to their official information somewhat difficult to interpret (and that's not a Japanese language problem; rather the info is unclear). I am not able to get out these last few days (unfortunately) but it seems like the tree run courses are not open.


Perhaps they're just dealing with all this snow...


Courses open:

Most of Geto Kogen is open.

Tree run courses: unconfirmed.


Lifts operating (subject to change):

Number 1 pair

Number 2 pair

Number 1 gondola

Quad lift


Official snow depth:

Upper: 330cm

Lower: 230cm
