Report:
It is a fairly bright but overcast morning here in Furano, with a chance of rain later on in the day. It hasn't been quite as warm these last few, with a high of 15 forecast for today. The forecast for Golden Week is generally fine, sunny weather.
Today is the last day of the 2007/8 ski & snowboard season at Furano with the last of the runs having their last day. After today, the 'green season' will be the reason why people visit Furano - and there's plenty to do in these beautiful surroundings.
We hope you enjoyed these daily reports from Furano this season. Look out for updates on here in the run up to the 2008/9 season.
Have a great summer and see you on the other side.

Report:
Things are a bit cooler today with a high temperature in the 15 degree region along with wet conditions. It looks like tomorrow should see the fine weather returning however.
The last few weeks really has seen some warm temperatures with people in t-shirts and the cherry blossoms out some two weeks or so earlier than usual. The snow has been disappearing faster than predicted and as such the resort has announced that they will be closing a week earlier than planned, with the final day of the season now being Tuesday 29th April. So only 4 more days left to the season.......
On May 3-6th there will be (free) snow groomer and snowmobile rides at the top of the Furano zone which sounds like fun and the ropeway will be in operation on those days (round trip 1000 yen). After that the ropeway will be open again for the hiking season in early June.

Report:
The fine weather continues, as are the warm temperatures - today up to 23 degrees. The snow has been melting away quickly in these temperatures and now there is hardly any snow left near the base of the Furano ropeway. The only courses remaining open are some of the upper slopes including the Panorama Course and Technical course. As there is no snow down below, you need to get the ropeway back down.
There is a chance of rain tomorrow, with fine weather forecast to return on Friday and into the weekend.
