Posted on Tuesday 30th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
After yesterday's tropical temperatures that hovered around +5c for the day, we are back to more wintery negatives. There has been 5cm of new snow overnight which means 15cm has fallen over the last 2 days. There is low cloud rolling down from the tops and because of this there will be patches of low light but overall visibility will be good. Snow conditions will be firm underfoot. Night skiing is operating on both sides of the resort until 8pm. Nearly all of the resort runs are open now and we are just waiting for Kitanomine Gondola to commence operation so that the upper slopes of Kitanomine can be accessed.
