Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 176cm

Posted on Tuesday 8th December 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Base of 105 centimetres reported, at least half a meter on the sides of the runs. -5 Celsius at the top, around -1 in Kitanomine Village. No wind. Sunny. Bit fabulous.


We could have a week without snow now. Could be interesting but as long as it stays cold it'll be ok. Very few people on the mountain and its central Hokkaido dry fluff.
