Posted on Wednesday 26th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


There has been 15cm of new snow since the last report. It was snowing lightly until about an hour ago and it is expected to start again later in the afternoon. It will be a good powder day over the entire mountain with the fresh snow. The wind is blowing reasonably strongly around town so that will make things feel a bit more chilly on exposed lifts.
