Posted on Thursday 5th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
Just a dusting really to report this morning as the ski area says there has been about 3cm up top.
We even had to endure a bit of rain last night but thankfully it changed to snow before too long.
This morning it's generally cloudy with a light wind.
Later on - perhaps snow. It's on the mild side. Let's hope so.
