Posted at 12:40pm on Saturday 24th November 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
It has been snowing lightly all morning and has just started to come in quite heavy. This is fresh snow will accumulate through the day and tomorrow morning is likely to be very good indeed. Visibility is still good and the new snow has meant there is some great early season powder on the open runs. Overall it is quite a cold day with -11c at the top where the skiing is. Not too many people out there, so it would be a good time to get out and put in a couple of runs to welcome in the season.
Furano Ropeway is open 8:30-14:40 for access to the upper mountain and the skiable lift is Furano Romance lift 2 open 8:45-15:00. At the moment the skiing is restricted to the upper mountain and to return to base it is necessary to use Furano Ropeway.
