Snowfall at base this season 591cm

Posted on Monday 28th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Early morning temperatures are tropical so it is going to be a real warm one on the mountain and it is entering t-shirt skiing territory.


Snow coverage on the upper mountain is really good for this time of year and there are some fine conditions especially early mornings.


The lower third of the mountain is getting pretty thin but still very skiable.
