Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido

Snowfall at base this season 302cm

Posted on Wednesday 12th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Big snow and mild temperatures.


There has been 28cm of fresh new snow overnight. It is currently snowing moderately and this is forecast to continue through the day. The temperature is warm at -3c and will go up as high as -1c. Due to this warmth the snow has a lot more body and moisture to it than we would usually expect.


There is plenty of potential for fresh tracks today! On big snow days like this it is possible that some lift operations may be delayed.
