Good morning Skiers and Boarders,
More snow! Yeah! I can get used to this! Let's keep it going!
Lift C, the beginner chair on the Furano side is now open, along with one run. The Magic Carpet is not open yet, so still a bit tough for Uber-beginners.
The Lavender Bus has added 3 morning busses going from downtown up through the Kitanomine Zone and ending at the Furano Zone. Times are 8:00, 8:40, and 9:40. This should do much to help those staying downtown to get up to the slopes in morning.
The Evening Shuttle Bus going down into town begins service on Dec 27.
Think snow.
Ropeway, Lifts C & D open.
