Good Morning Skiers & Boarders,
Certainly cooler today, and the lovely sunshine has just popped out after being in hiding all morning. It's also a bit breezy, so it's certainly not a warm day.
A whole 1 cm of new snow fell, just meeting the SnowJapan legal minimum.
Crowds are way down since about 6 days ago, which has finally solved this year's long lines problem. Now's your chance to ride the Gondola, and more importantly for many, the Ropeway, without having to wait in line. Zero lines today.
Enjoy.
Think snow.
** Furano Zone Lift B (aka Furano Quad) is closed for the season due to mechanical failure. New braking mechanism must be fabricated.**
Furano Zone: All except Lift B.
Kitanomine: All lifts open. Premium Zone is closed, probably for the season.
Regular lifts closing at 4:00 PM
Night skiing until 6:00 PM tonight on both sides.
