Posted on Thursday 5th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.
Another 5-10cm of snowfall to report this morning and some nice big flakes falling just a bit earlier (not so much as I look out the window now).
Snow is not expected to last long and we might get some clearer skies. Still, there is more snow scattered around the forecast across the coming week, so hopefully we will continue to gradually get more.
B2 still closed but the other two runs seem back open now.
