Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 633cm

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


Yesterday had some great powder with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the fresh snow even on the main runs. The wind came in pretty strong after lunch and interfered with the operation of some of the lifts.


Today is calm by comparison and there has been another good layer of snow since yesterday. Temperatures have risen rapidly since the mountain report was issued earlier this morning and it is now just below freezing at base level. Skies are overcast and visibility is good.


From tomorrow the temperatures are going to go warm, and on Saturday and Sunday the resort is forecast to be well above 0c.
