Hello from Geto Kogen.
We had some light rain last night with it changing to snow this morning. There's a bit of a dusting on the ground (the ski area reports 3cm on the mountain).
We are hoping for some consistent snowfall over the next few days.
It would normally be a busy weekend. Monday is a national holiday. The ski area will want nothing more than to be able to open up more tree runs... all depends on the snow.
Lifts operating (planned):
All lifts operating.
Runs open (planned):
All the main runs should be open.
Scheduled to open tree runs: Heart and Rabbit.
More will open when there is enough snow.
Official snow depth (reported by the ski area):
130cm (top)
90cm (base)
