Good morning from Geto.
My oh my it is funny sometimes how quickly a situation can change... from today all of the main courses at Geto will be open, and they are rightfully boasting about it! Fastest to be fully open in Honshu, with 14km of rideable terrain.
I am impressed. But more than that, I am excited so forgive me for quickly posting this and getting out there myself...
Oh, being true to my reporting means I feel the need to just fill you in a bit more. Just a little snow the report yesterday and a little light snow now. Bit of a wind too but not too much to be too much of an annoyance. The forecast for today is cloud/snow, with some clearer skies forecast for tomorrow. Should be good!
Official snow depth (as reported by resort):
Upper: 170cm
Lower: 90cm
Lifts, courses & tree run info:
