Posted on Wednesday 1st February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The morning is looking most attractive with mostly blue sky and sun over the resort. Yesterday delivered some fresh snow onto the slopes which will mean the groomed runs will have nice powder on them today. Some of the off piste runs that have had heavy traffic on them are quite bumpy and firm and will be pretty hard on the knees.
The clear conditions are likely to turn into snow from around midday, and moderate rates of precipitation are expected from this evening through to Thursday evening.
