Posted at 2:34am on Sunday 9th December 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
The snow came in droves over night, leaving 10cm+ all over town and with even heavier accumulations in some places. It's still snowing outside, and it doesn't show signs of stopping until later tonight. The systems passing through the area these past few days have been the best snow-makers we've seen all season. Needless to say, the slopes are practically primed for powder aficionados. The next few days should offer pristine conditions around the mountain.
It's currently -3 with slight winds coming out of the North, Northeast. The ski resort has upped its official snow depth to 100cm, and there's plenty of powder out there for all to enjoy. If you haven't made it out yet this season, it's time to strap on those ski boots and snowboards, and get out there and enjoy it!
