All good things come to and end and today is the end of the season for Furano Ski Area.
It is no longer possible ski from top to bottom as all of the snow has melted away from the middle of the resort downwards.
The only skiable lift is the Downhill 2 chair which gives a run of around 800m. Weather wise it is overcast and warm at +10c.
Visibility is good and snow conditions are spring snow, getting very sticky mid morning.
Enjoy...it's the last one until next season, later this year, which should start in November.
