Posted on Saturday 6th April 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Furano has been hit with a snow front that has deposited 6cm of nice fresh spring snow on the ground. Overnight the winds were very strong, but have now started to ease up. It is currently still snowing but looks like it will stop soon. The high will go up to +2c which will melt away that new snow around the village, but the slopes will be fine and this top of new snow will provide some great skiing over the weekend.


Furano Zone OPEN.

Kitanomine Zone CLOSED FOR SEASON.
