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


The morning started out very sunny with nice blue skies. In the last half hour some light cloud has rolled over the top of the resort and is hanging around the upper third of the mountain. -12c was recorded at the top earlier on, so conditions will be firm and fast with a light layer of new snow overnight. Temperatures will rise during the day but should stay below freezing.


Conditions will be relatively calm over the next few days. Light snow is forecast for the next 6 days and there is a significant dump on the radar for Tuesday evening.
