Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido

Snowfall at base this season 252cm

Posted on Thursday 27th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


With 11cm of very fine and light new snow on the ground it will be an epic powder morning on the resort, so best to get up there asap to make the most of it. The wind is a little stronger today and with temperatures nearing -10c in the village it feels cold. It is expected to continue to snow all day with heavier falls overnight.
