Good morning skiers and boarders,
Another good chunk overnight. Yeah. We need it. Hopefully by now the misbehaving pebbles have been covered up. This snow is much wighter and fwuffier than yesterday's. That may be a good combination.
Winds are calmer so the Gondola is running today. Our Gondola is a sensitive creature. Quite exposed to the wind.
bonchi powder festival tomorrow evening and all day Sunday. Be sure to drop by.
Think (more) snow.
Furano Zone Lift B (aka Furano Quad) is closed indefinitely due to mechanical failure. New braking mechanism must be fabricated. Earliest forecasted repair will be the end of February.
Furano Zone: All open except Lift B
Kitanomine: All lifts open.
Night skiing until 6:00 PM tonight on both sides.
