Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido

Snowfall at base this season 226cm

Posted on Monday 24th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


It is a nice morning with some cloud but mainly clear sky above. Light snow is falling and there is 6cm new snow on the ground. The moderate winds that were around in the early hours have passed and it is pretty calm with no movement in the trees. That new layer of snow will freshen up the pistes and the skiing conditions will be good. For the rest of the week light to moderate snow is forecast daily.
