Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 28cm

Posted on Thursday 29th November 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


The snow flurries continued through the day yesterday with no accumulation on the ground until early evening. This morning the ground in the ski village is well and truly frozen, and there is 3cm of fresh light snow on the ground. The resort is reporting 20cm at the top of Furano Ropeway. There is a light breeze and although mainly cloudy, a bit of sun is making its way through. Overall quite a pleasant day and worth popping up for a ski on that fresh snow.


Furano Zone is open with Furano Ropeway for uplifting/down lifting only. The skiable trails are Shirakaba and upper Sailer, with the Downhill 2 chair servicing those trails.


Furano Zone partially open.

Kitanomine Zone closed.
