Hello and morning from Geto.


A good 25+cm of fresh snow this morning, yey! The resort itself is reporting 30-40cm of snowfall over the mountain. Not much of a wind and quite cold.


So I expect it to be a very fine morning. Get wrapped up well and let's enjoying, as they say.


Just the Rabbit tree run course open as yet but I would expect more to become available as the snow builds up.
