Posted on Friday 8th December 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The sun is out on this very chilly -11c morning. Overnight there has been 11cm of new snow. It seems not only was November a huge snow month, but December is tracking to be a big one as well. The resort has now opened Sailer and Spies courses from the top to base of the mountain, so that is good progress. Kitanomine looks to be in great condition and it has been groomed and shows good snow cover, but at the moment there is no word from the resort when it will open. Temperatures will remain chilly with a high of -5c and it will cloud over later in the day. Light snow is on the forecast for tonight and tomorrow evening.
Furano Zone partially open.
Kitanomine Zone closed.
