Posted at 9:45am on Thursday 27th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The cold temperatures are persisting today along with the wind which is variable at the moment between light and moderate. Another 5cm of new snow has been deposited overnight so the pistes will be skiing very very well and with 20cm in 2 days any small patchy areas should be well and truly covered now. There didn't look to be too many people lining up for lifts this morning, or out on the mountain yesterday, so there should be some nice untouched powder areas that can be searched out. More light snow is forecast for later in the week.
