Posted on Friday 15th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


It is another very pleasant morning in the resort with a nice clear view of the ski hill looking back from Furano city. At -10c now, it is a milder morning, and the high should shoot up to around -4c by early afternoon. Overnight there has been a top up of 4cm of fresh snow at base level and this will probably equate to about 10cm at the top of the resort. There is only the slightest breeze and the sun is starting to hit the slopes.
