Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 175cm

Posted on Monday 30th December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Yesterdays flurries ended up as great falls and that continued over night. There will be many smiley faces today with an extra 10cm added to the base and plenty of powder to get your feet stuck in.


With this snow and Grooming overnight, any small grass coming through will now be covered and the Kitanomine side will be great for lessons.


Snow will continue at a good rate today before settling down tomorrow and temps are pleasant without being cold.
