Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido

Posted on Sunday 24th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Welcome to Sunday morning and it looks like it is going to be a great day ahead.


The resort has blue skies above it with some cloud thrown in as well, but the sun is going to break through this morning and those nice warm rays will help to take the chill out of the -10c...well it will help a little! There is only a light flurry of snow coming down right now but overnight there has been 2cm of accumulation. While not a lot it certainly helps to refresh the runs. Being a Sunday, the mountain is likely to be a little more crowded that the other days of the week.


The forecast for Monday and Tuesday is similar today. The next significant snow is likely to be Wednesday and Thursday, but winds are also forecast to increase on those days.
