Good MORNING Skiers & Boarders!!!
It's a classic Furano powder day!! 23 cm at the base and a whopping 75 cm on top. Hooo-eee!! It's light. It's fluffy! It's Furano at its best.
Due to amount of snow on top, the upper lifts were delayed by 30 minutes this morning, but all is well now. The first people in line at the Gondola arrived at 8:00 AM, and great will be their reward. There will be a lot of happy faces today.
It is allegedly fairly windy on top, so if the wind picks up, we may see the Gondola closing.
Think (more) snow.
