Good morning skiers & boarders,
Windy and rainy all night last night. This morning, it was 80+ km/h up on top, so the Gondola is of course closed. The 2 Kitanomine life (Lift G) is also closed, which is quite rare, but will probably open in the afternoon as the wind is supposed to die down a bit.
Amazingly, the Furano Zone is completely open, as the wind is not hitting over there, but it is r@!ning. Should be moderately windy all day tomorrow as well, but no r@!n forecast. The sunniness should resume on Tuesday.
Think snow.
