It was a fantastic weekend in Furano with fresh snow on both Saturday and Sunday. This morning has also delivered more snow - it is hard to believe this is still happening in April! Temperatures on the lower mountain are above zero today and look to stay that way for the rest of the week, but on the upper mountain they will remain quite cold. This means that the lower half of the mountain will be spring snow conditions.
