Posted on Sunday 29th December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Moderate falls over night were a bit wet but we have some nice flurry this morning being whipped around. This means that even with new snow there actually isn't quite enough to change the actual snow level, though any falls we have are most welcome at the moment and levels will improve as this week grows.
Snow should continue flurrying for the rest of the day and be at its heaviest early tomorrow morning.
The slight breeze will be noticeable at the top of the Gondola but well worth getting up there for advanced skiers. Furano side is offering better snow conditions at this stage.
