Morning from Geto Kogen.


After a day of generally calm conditions yesterday, this morning I have 10cm more snow to report at base with double that being reported on the mountain. And it is still snowing now. Tomorrow is probably going to be a mix of cloud and snow and beyond that the snow continues to look like it will be falling consistently. Don't expect much in terms of clear skies!


Moderate north westerly wind is likely over the next few days.


The official snowfall number from the ski area has now risen to over 17m! (!)
