Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 193cm

Posted on Sunday 11th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


It is a nice looking morning in Furano with no wind, but pretty cold at -8c in the village. We have been lucky again and have received 10cm of very light dry powder overnight. Needless to say that at the top of the resort this will be substantially more than 10cm!


There is cloud rolling over the mountain and making it down until around mid mountain. Visibility will be a bit foggy right now but that cloud may lift later on in the morning. The town has a thin layer of valley cloud over it with clear blue skies sitting above that. Looks like a great morning for some turns...I'm heading off in 5 mins to get mine!
