Posted on Friday 13th March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


At last the bad weather has passed us and we have a nice day with broken cloud and a bit of blue sky in between. The sun is hitting the resort nicely and the day looks extremely inviting, especially given that there is some new overnight powder and only the slightest breeze. It looks like it will get warm today so the morning will provide the best snow conditions.


Ski race competitions are being held on the Furano Zone this week so it is a great opportunity to watch some ski racing. The following courses will be closed until March 15 for the competitions:


Spies Course

Ropeway Course

Panorama Course

Technical Course
