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


Morning from Geto Kogen.


9cm of snowfall to report, 3cm of that coming overnight.


Light snow is falling this morning with a bit of a blustery wind at times. The forecast is showing the chance of some sunshine today, more so tomorrow.


And a return to some decent snowfall late Tuesday into Wednesday though milder conditions are due on Wednesday in the daytime bringing with it a threat of rain. Let's hope that doesn't happen.


Most people are now back to work after the New Year so things should be quieter on the slopes on weekdays.
