Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 21cm
Snowfall at base this season 69cm

Posted on Tuesday 1st December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Furano has received a good dump of 21cm of new snow overnight.


It is still snowing moderately and forecast to continue through the day. This amount of snow should help the resort get closer to opening up some more runs in the near future.


Furano Zone is open with the Furano Ropeway operating for uploading and downloading to the upper mountain.


The open courses are D1 (800m) and D2 (740m).


At this stage is not possible to ski back the base area, so you will be required to use the Ropeway to return.
