Posted on Tuesday 21st November 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Furano Zone will open tomorrow 22 November!


That's correct, the proposed start date of 25 November has been slid forward to 22 November due to the great snow that November has delivered so far. The photos of the slopes sure do look good.


Overnight there has been a bit of dusting across the village. It is still snowing lightly around the base, but very light. Tomorrow heavy rain is still on the forecast for village level. The upper mountain should see snow instead of the rain. Thursday onwards will be continuous light snow through to the end of the week.
