Morning from Geto Kogen.


Just 10cm or so this morning as we have enjoyed some less extreme conditions since yesterday, with about 5cm of that overnight.


This morning as you can see from the photo below, a lovely sunrise and clear skies. Beautiful morning.


Clouds are due to move in later on and we're expecting more snow tomorrow.


Official snow depth numbers have changed quite a bit today. Not sure why. But they don't really matter. It's the fresh snow that matters now.
