Looks like a good day outside with light overcast skies but the light of the sun visible behind. There is a bit of a breeze but nothing significant and a few light flakes of snow coming down. The temperature is certainly cold at -9c and will gradually increase to around -5c today. Yesterday the top chair on the Furano Zone started so Technical and Panorama course are now accessible. Overnight snow is a very nice 8cm.


Furano Zone partially open.

Kitanomine Zone closed.
