Good Morning Campers!!


The fun continues with more snow falling yesterday and overnight. Looks like Mother Nature will take the day off tomorrow, it is Saturday after all, but then return Sunday for a 3-day engagement.


With the additional snow, the resort has now opened a second run (B1) down to the base on the Furano side. I tell you, these run names are SO inspiring!! Just really jazz me up. Sound like stupid Bingo cards. Kitanomine will open on Dec 22, and no amount of snow will change their mind. Trust me.


Only 13 more shopping days until Christmas.


That's all folks.


Think snow.


Opening, lift & other notes


Ropeway + Lifts C & D

8:30 -- 15:00

*The A2 & B1 runs are open all the way to the base.


**The infamous Furano Quad has been repaired and will open per normal schedule later this month.**
