Posted on Sunday 1st March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The resort will not operate Furano Ropeway today as a precautionary matter to prevent the possible spread of viruses.
It is snowing with a moderate wind around the base area. There is not a lot of accumulation on the ground yet but I have measured 3cm this morning. Looking up at the resort visibility looks limited with the combination of the wind and snow.
The temperature is currently -7c and the high of -3c will be mid afternoon. The snow is forecast to continue through the day.
