Morning from Geto Kogen.
5cm of fresh snow! (Ski area reporting 7cm in upper elevations).
Yesterday was generally cloudy and windy - enough to stop the gondola from before lunchtime.
And then we had this snow overnight. At the start of the day we have some cloud, some blue sky and the sun breaking through in places.
Should be a fine day, maybe windy still ---- but hopefully not too windy.
