Posted on Sunday 6th April 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Should be a great day after more snow yesterday and the snow, though still a little wet, was more powdery then expected. We haven't had must more then a dusting overnight and wont expect much new snow till this afternoon.
Wind will be our enemy but today but hopefully won't effect things too much. Until the light snow falls this afternoon we can expect to see the sun make an odd appearance through the clouds.
For a bit of a laugh there is a pond skimming event today on the hill from 13:00 where people will try to ski down and across the created pond. See if anyone can make it to the end without getting wet!
