Posted on Thursday 15th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
My favorite quote from yesterday:
"I think a lot of people are going to have the best runs of their lives today."
We got 13 cm more white stuff since yesterday morning, and the resort is actually saying that more snow fell at the base than on top, which is a first.
Anywho, nothing expected to happen on the snow front for the next 4 days, and the temps will stay cold, so enjoy.
Think snow.
