Good morning.
The season begins today!
Yes, with another 10+cm at base and a little more on the mountain, Geto Kogen will be open from this morning. The snow was all during the day yesterday.
This morning a fairly decent amount of the ski area will be available. The ski area reports 50cm and over in places with A1-B1 courses open, apparently offering just under 8km in terrain.
Not bad.
Fingers crossed this base is built upon regularly from now, in true Geto Kogen style. (Mid week is looking good for some proper heavy snow).
Snowfall statistics (as reported by the ski area):
Current snow depth (top): 70cm
Current snow depth (base): 45cm
Total season snowfall so far at top: 136cm
