It is all good news again this morning. It is snowing moderately and there is a conservative 10cm of fresh snow at village level. Several courses on the mountain have not been groomed to allow powderhounds to get some fresh tracks, so don't delay and get out there asap to take advantage of this. Winds are present and at times moderate which may have an effect on the operation of certain lifts during the day. Yesterday Furano Now posted a new snowfall report of 5cm - we were contacted by people who had skied, to inform us that we were wrong and that there was 30cm on the upper mountain. We would like to clarify that for consistency and conservatism New Snowfall measurements are taken at Kitanomine Village level and on the ski area itself are liekly to be significantly more.
