Hello Skiers and Snowboarders,
A glorious day if you like snow. It's a-snowin' & a-blowin out there. Viz is still 500 m, so this is perfect conditions as far as I'm concerned.
It's supposed to snow all day today, with the wind picking up even more in the afternoon. Small point of concern is the temp might climb up to around zero this afternoon, so that'll change the snow texture a bit for the powder junkies.
The Gondola is closed today due to the wind. Since the wind is forecast to increase, I'm sure the Gondola will stay closed all day.
Think snow.
Furano Zone -- All open.
Kitanomine -- Gondola closed for wind today. Wind is up to 50 km/h on top. Magic carpet also closed, but not because of wind.
Night skiing until 6:00 PM tonight.
