Posted on Friday 3rd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
With continuing snowfall, Furano Now is starting to wonder if it will ever stop snowing.
Furano has been truely blessed over the last week and all courses are now open and in great condition. It is snowing moderately at the moment and there has been at least 10cm accumulation since the last report. Visibility is holding out despite the snow and is good.
The Premium Zone will open again today, but untracked powder can be found over large areas of the mountain.
