Posted on Thursday 15th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


There has been a good topping up of snow since the report yesterday was posted. It has amounted to 7cm in the village, but significantly more than that at the top of the resort. It will be a very nice powder morning with all that new fresh snow around. The wind is blowing lightly and overhead conditions are overcast. There was sun coming through about half an hour ago but it is now blocked by the cloud. While there is no snow falling right now, it forecast to snow lightly throughout the day.


Kitanomine Zone open.

Furano Zone open.
