Furano has been blasted by strong winds overnight and they are still gusting around the village. It is likely this will affect some lift operations, so it will be best to get the latest lift information from the resort before buying a lift ticket. There has been some snow overnight which is about 5cm in the village. Due to the wind effect exposed places are likely to have had the new snow blow straight past. Snow has not settled on cars outside in the wind. It is quite warm at -4c and the high will be -2c. Slope conditions will be variable with pockets of fresh wind blown snow scattered around.
