Posted on Monday 31st March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
With temperatures fluctuating over the last few days between warm and freezing, snow conditions on the mountain have been varying between icy and soft spring.
Today there has been a fresh dusting of new snow, but nothing to get too excited about.
Temperatures are cold so the slopes will be firm and frosty but may soften up if temperatures lift during the day.
Heavy cloud is enveloping the mountain down to base, so expect compromised visibility at times.
