Good morning from Geto and what a great morning it is as well.


I have a whopping 53cm of fresh snowfall to report from base. True up-to-the-knees Geto style!


Bit of a blowy wind at times and visibility limited as snow continues, but I know where I'm heading.


More snow to report tomorrow, surely


It feels like this is the proper start....
