Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 495cm

Posted on Tuesday 6th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


There was just a light dusting of new snow overnight but the trickle has continued and the total build up in the village is 3cm. We can expect the constant light snow to continue throughout the remainder of the week. Early morning the upper part of the resort was shrouded in cloud but that lifted to reveal a partially sunny day. While it is cold today those direct sunlight rays did prove enough to melt a little of the ice on the roads.


Kitanomine Zone open.

Furano Zone open.
