Posted on Saturday 11th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The very cold temperatures continue with an extra layer definitely needed.
The winds are freshly coming from the west and are light but may have the odd swirl to mix things up. The Gondola and ropeway is the warmest way up this morning. The slopes are smooth and we have had just enough fall overnight to give a nice coating of dry snow to refresh the slopes.
Though its a long weekend there will plenty of room out there to get some great turns.
