Hello Skiers & Boarders,
The wind has gone, thankfully. Got a bit of snow overnight, just a small dusting of 3 cm, but potentially up to 10 cm on top.
Everything is back open today, except for the ongoing issues with the Furano Zone magic carpet, which is still down for the count.
The next few days should be nice and sunny, and then perhaps some snow Friday night and into Saturday.
Enjoy. Think snow.
