The snow front continues with another 15cm overnight making it a fine time to be in Furano. Today will rock your socks with fantastic powder and with less tourists at this time of the year make sure you get out and explore every run.
No need to rush out there as it will continue to snow all day.
There is a little swirl in the winds which will not effect things and visibility is reasonable.
