Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido

Snowfall at base this season 123cm

Posted on Saturday 14th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Yes, true, it has snowed. Just not a lot. Again, all contributions are gratefully accepted, but a series of small days does try one's patience. Let's get with the program, Mother Nature! Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!


In resort news today, the B1 run from the top of the Ropeway to the base has been opened as of today. This will give beginners a much longer run, and a nice way to get back down at the end of the day, along with the intermediate A2 run. You just gotta love these imaginative names for the runs and lifts here in Furano.


That's all folks! Only 11 more shopping days until Christmas.


Think snow.


Ropeway, Lifts C & D. Additional run open to bottom open today.
