Morning.
We had snow falling yesterday, lazily for a lot of the time and so it hasn't added up to a huge amount... 3cm down at base with the ski area reporting 5cm.
This morning starts cloudy and we may get some more light snow.
From tomorrow, it's mostly clearer skies forecast into next week and getting milder -- not a whole lot of chance of snow.
Still, Geto Kogen plans to be open until early May, so there is a long time to go.
Conditions on the tree run courses are getting a bit dodgy in places, I hear, and so openings might be limited going forward. Every day they go out and check at the start of the day and make a decision then.
