Fresh snowfall measured at base: 7cm

The snow continued falling yesterday until evening when it eventually eased off, leaving us with a bit more on the ground to add to the report.

There was some sun visible very early this morning but it is now cloudy – and cloudy conditions are what are on the forecast.

There’s no wind just now so it should be a good day to get out and enjoy the good snow conditions of the moment.

All of the courses are available.

Welcome to our new Geto Kogen Now daily reports section

Geto Kogen is a ski and snowboard resort in Iwate Prefecture in the northern Tohoku region of Honshu, the main island of Japan. It’s known for heavy snowfalls, quality snow and tree run courses. Hopefully we will be able to bring you some good snowy reports through this season.

For more information on Geto Kogen please check out these pages on SnowJapan:

As with all our daily ‘Now’ reports, the bottom line is that they are independent and honest – they are published by us, not by the resort. The new snowfall number is being measured at the base area of the resort.

This is a brand new section involves people new to the process and so it may take a short while for us all to get used to it all. So please bear with us as we get into the gear!
