Posted at 9:31am on Monday 3rd December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
It is a picture perfect day with no cloud over the ski area and blue skies highlighting the white of the ski area. The key word today is cold...with -10c at the base and -12c at the top. There hasn't been any fresh snow overnight but we have snow forecast for tomorrow where temperatures will also warm up substantially. The slopes are in fine condition for this time of year and the mountain is skiable from top to bottom. As we get more snow expect more of the mountain to be opened up. The upper slopes are a soft powder base while the lower half of the mountain is a harder packed powder base.
