Good Morning Skiers & Boarders,
The spring skiing continues in Furano. Here we are mid-April, and you can STILL ski top to bottom!! Eventually, you'll only be able to ski the upper runs, and The Plan is still to operate thru the end of Golden Week (May 6).
Remember, in spring skiing, Universal Wax is your best friend. Not so you can go fast, just so your skis don't suddenly stick to the snow sending you over the tips!
Enjoy.
Think snow.
