Good Morning Skiers and Boarders,
We had a bit of snow last night, 9 cm to be precise. Semi-heavy, very packable. Will be a very nice addition to the snow pack.
Still very windy up on top, dropping down to "only" 65 km/h, so the Gondola is closed again today.
The Kitanomine side has just over 2 weeks left, with March 23 being the last day, as per the usual schedule.
All for today.
Think snow.
** Furano Zone Lift B (aka Furano Quad) is closed for the season due to mechanical failure. New braking mechanism must be fabricated.**
Furano Zone: All except Lift B.
Kitanomine: Gondola is closed due to high winds. All other lifts open. Premium Zone is closed, probably for the season.
Regular lifts closing at 4:00 PM
Night skiing until 6:00 PM tonight on both sides.
