Good morning from Geto. The weekend once again, so more people are already around waiting for the resort to open.
And they will be happy to see close on 30cm of fresh snow on the ground with probably more than that on the mountain. Yey!
Yesterday there were some fairly strong winds blowing with poor visibility and it affected lift operations. Snow started falling later in the afternoon as the winds eased off.
The snow clouds shouldn't be too far away over the weekend.
