andylaurel 3 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Today was my first day on snow this season, and I'm quite pleased to report it was a good one. After solid snowfalls Sunday night through Tuesday, Furano was able to open a portion of the Furano Area, with the Spies, Sailer and Shirakaba courses open. With just the gondola servicing the upper slopes, and one pair lift in operation, lift queues were long and the runs were short, but getting to sample November pow made it entirely worthwhile. Apologies for the Iphone photos. Next time I'll take my camera. Hopefully the blizzard forecast for tomorrow dumps enough to get more runs open at Furano, and enough to get Kurodake open, because that's where I'll be heading this weekend.

kokodoko 67 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 that is certainly enough snow and pretty good for november.. thanks andy.. Link to post Share on other sites
andylaurel 3 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 It hovered around zero all day, so there was powder to be found, albeit slightly heavy. This morning a blizzard was forecast, but I awoke to the sound of raindrops! It's raining rather heavily here, but it's forecast to turn to snow later in the day. I hope Kurodake gets enough to open this weekend! Link to post Share on other sites
