Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 11cm
Snowfall at base this season 528cm

Posted on Monday 12th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


It is a calm morning in the village. Early on there were some strong winds gust sporadically coming through, but these have passed. Yesterday there was significant snow throughout the day and this has amounted to 11cm, which will mean great powder on the resort with up to double that amount at the top I would expect. Cloud is rolling down the resort again today so visibility will be varied. Vis does seem to be improving already. A great day to be out - tomorrows weather looks similar with continuous light snow and cloud.


Kitanomine Zone open.

Furano Zone open.
