Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 450cm

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


This morning there is a nice constant light snowfall coming down which has already deposited 5cm of fresh snow over the ground. This light snowfall will continue through the day constantly refreshing the slopes with a nice topping of powder. There is high cloud cover and most likely we won't get any sun breaking through. The slopes will be in great condition with the groomers out finishing things off right now. Tomorrow looks like a repeat of todays weather pattern.


Kitanomine Zone open.
