It's time to start up the Furano Now reports as we are less than 3 weeks from the start of the season. The resort is planning to open on 21 November 2020.


Yesterday was the first snow of the season and fully blanketed the mountain and the Furano valley. In total there was 11cm of accumulation on the ground.


It is a little warmer today and the snow is starting to melt away, but winter is definitely here and further snow is on its way at the end of the week.
