Posted on Sunday 2nd December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
It is a very pleasant morning in Furano with clear conditions. Above is a mix of cloud and blue sky, and the morning sun is coming down warming the town nicely. Since yesterday there is a further 8cm of new snow which fell mainly in the late afternoon. The resort gave us the heads up yesterday that they intended to open the Sailer course, down to the bottom of the ropeway which is a continuous 3.4km run, today. Given the good early season conditions and that it is a nice sunny Sunday, I would expect reasonable numbers on the mountain today.
Open trails:
Shirakaba
Spies (upper part only)
Sailer
Open lifts:
Downhill Romance 2 chair
Furano Ropeway
Furano Zone partially open.
Kitanomine Zone closed.
