Hello from Geto Kogen.


What can I say? The snow continues with another 50cm or so...


It keeps on coming down, it remains windy and perhaps only for the braver. Real care is required in these conditions.


Lifts are going to try to get open as planned but there is always a chance that they might be halted.


For those that like a bit of a break in all this fresh snow, tomorrow might see it ease off.
