Posted on Wednesday 27th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Yesterday turned out to be a fantastic day with the cloud breaking up early morning and allowing some blue sky and sunshine to break through. Today promises to be even better snow wise with 4cm of nice light powder having settled in the village overnight, so I would expect substantially more than that on the ski runs themselves.
As forecast, we do have some wind. It is only light at the moment in the village and the ski area expects to be able to operate all lifts. The wind will increase to moderate levels tomorrow and then start to reduce again after that. Skies are overcast today and will stay like this for the next few days. We can also expect continuous light snowfall for the next few days as well.
