Independent snow and weather reporting from the Geto Kogen region of Iwate


New snowfall at base 80cm
Snowfall at base this season 635cm

Posted on Thursday 6th February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Madness!!


Of the (very) good kind.


The resort is reporting 80cm of snow this morning, and I have to agree. I might even say there is a bit more in my usual spot, but I think wind has been a factor there so 80cm is a fair number here.


I can't remember posting that big a number before.


The resort may be struggling to get things open this morning but I'm sure they'll do their best. There are people waiting to get out there!!!


Oh yes, it's still snowing and more is due.


Officially very excited.
