Posted on Tuesday 31st December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was an absolute stunning day with 40-50cm of fresh snow on the mountain which the groomers couldn't get to before the skiers.
That snow was more than enough to completely cover up any thin patches and now the whole mountain is in fine condition. The Kitanomine courses of Giant, Dynamic, Wide and Training have now opened as a result of this new snow. Today is high overcast, calm and will be a fantastic day. All runs have been extensively groomed.
Night skiing on the Furano side is now on the longer Downhill high speed quad.
