Good morning from Geto.
Guess what? Yes, it was snowing during the day yesterday. Lightly in the morning with some wind blowing around lunchtime and the snow starting to build up in places pretty quickly. The wind didn't last too long but the snow continued leaving us with a fairly calm evening.
This morning there is 22cm of fresh snow on the ground and it is cloudy with a moderate wind. There's a bit of sun shining through the clouds in places.
Good news for tree run area fans - the Summit and Shooter areas should be opening from Saturday (12th January). Looking forward to that.
