Wow.
Good morning from an extremely snowy Geto Kogen.
The last few days have been a bit mad. We've gone from hardly any snow at all, to over 2cm of snow being reported by the ski area up top (on their social media; the website says 100cm, but maybe that is not updated yet).
Whatever, a lot of snow all of a sudden. And it is due to continue until this evening.
And today is the start of the ski season here. Limited to start off, but with all this snow I would imagine other areas opening up pretty quickly.
Very nice.
