Just a couple of centimeters of new snow has fallen since the last report. The Furano Zone, on the New Furano Prince Hotel side, is now fully open with good skiing from top to bottom. Skiers started to roll into town in larger numbers over the weekend and with this increase in people on the slopes it is starting to get pretty crowded. Today is mostly cloudy and it will snow from around midday through the afternoon. Tomorrow will bring warm weather and there is the possibility of some rain.
