Posted on Saturday 5th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Geto.


Some snow overnight bit it definitely feels somewhat milder this morning. Hopefully that won't last long - keep those temps cold. Fairly regular snowfall is still on the forecast into next week...


Limited visibility early on this morning.


If you are up for taking in a bit of local culture this afternoon, be by the base central area by 4pm this afternoon to. Below is a photo from a previous season to give you an idea of what to expect. Fire? Demons? Swords? Looks pretty cool, hey?


I hope they can perhaps help get the other tree run courses open sometime soon...
