Posted on Monday 16th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


The strong winds came through yesterday as predicted but all up there was some great snow to be had particularly in the more sheltered parts of the mountain. The wind has reduced in intensity and is now moderate. It will continue to reduce and conditions will be calm by Wednesday morning. Overnight there was 5cm of new snow, but on mountain the depth will vary greatly due to the wind effect. For the moment there is no more snow on the forecast in the next few days. Temperatures will sit just under 0c today and will remain warm through until at least Saturday.


All lifts operating.
