The snow outlook is good for today and tomorrow with heavy snow predicted on the ski area from this evening. At the moment it is snow lightly with just a dusting to report right at the moment. The warm temperatures of yesterday have passed but have left roads and footpaths extremely slippery under the light layer of fresh snow.


Furano Zone is partially open with Furano Ropeway operating to upload and download skiers to and from the upper mountain. It is not possible to ski from the top to bottom of the mountain yet. The skiable lift is Downhill Romance no.2 chair and the skiable courses are the upper part of Sailer and Spies Course, and Shirakaba Course. Restaurant Downhill is open.
