Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 474cm

Posted on Thursday 6th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


For the powder hounds out there today should be another good day with 10cm of new snow overnight. There is a good amount of pow on piste and some great untracked areas awaiting off piste. The wind is a factor today and is gusting from low to moderate.


Cloud is rolling right down the mountain so there will be a bit of compromised visibility at times, but overall this will be a great day for snow.
