Posted at 9:39am on Thursday 21st March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The weather man has delivered and we have 15cm+ of new snow at base level. The not so good news is that there are strong winds whipping around base and these are on the forecast through until Saturday. Currently it is blizzard like on the mountain but those who make the effort will be rewarded with some very good snow conditions.
The Kitanomine Gondola is on hold at the moment due to the wind and other lift operations may be affected today as well.
