Good morning from Geto Kogen.


A modest amount of fresh snow to report to you since yesterday even though it was snowing for most of the day. Probably because of the wind blowing it all about.


It is calmer this morning and brighter too. It should be a fine morning.


More snow due over new years though so the clearer skies aren't going to last long.


I am hearing that Garden and Summit tree run courses might get to open at the weekend. It is all going to depend on the conditions at the time.


Courses open:

Most of Geto Kogen is open.

Tree run courses: Heart and Rabbit have been open, depending on conditions.


Lifts operating (subject to change):

Number 1 pair

Number 2 pair

Number 1 gondola

Quad lift
