Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 197cm

Posted on Tuesday 13th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


There is a moderate breeze around the base and at the top of Furano Ropeway it is fairly strong. Needless to say with a temperature of -9c and a strong wind it feels extremely chilly when exposed to the elements. There is a light trickle of snow coming down which overnight has given us another dusting of 2cm.


For the rest of the week light snow should continue to fall and the temperatures are going to stay very chilly. There is no large dump on the radar at the moment so it will be more of a light top up each night.


The following courses are expected to be open today:

Technical

Panorama

Spies

Sailer

Prince


Furano Ropeway 8:30am-15:00pm.

Furano Downhill Romance 2 chairlift 8:40am-15:00pm.
