After getting used to the spring weather, this morning is a throw back to winter. Temperatures have dipped below freezing and some snow has fallen, blanketing the village in a thin layer of nice white snow. The last time we had snow was March 20. There are strong winds gusting at the moment and moving large trees around quite a bit. Above it is mostly cloudy but there is a bit of blue sky over the slopes and sun shining down.
Furano Zone open.
Kitanomine Zone closed for the season.
