Posted on Monday 2nd December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Furano Ski Area commenced operation for the 2013-14 season yesterday.
Very few made it up for the opening but those who did were treated to the best quality snow I have ever seen on an opening day. 10cm of snow fell Sunday morning and there has been another 10cm fall this morning, so conditions are improving substantially on a day by day basis.
Temperatures are still warmer than is ideal but the top is staying below the magic 0C mark.
Operating lifts:
Furano Ropeway - for access only.
Downhill Romance 2 chair 8:45am-3:00pm
Courses:
Sailer for approx 800m next to Downhill Romance 2 chair.
