Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido


New snowfall at base 25cm
Snowfall at base this season 140cm

Posted on Tuesday 9th December 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.


Hello Skiers & Boarders,


We are a-Rockin' & a-Rollin'. Mucho snow fell throughout the day yesterday. The final tally was 25 cm at the base and 30 cm on top. It's a good heavy, somewhat wet, snow that packs like a dream and establishes a good base. No complaints from me.


Speaking of bases, the resort reports a base at the base of 55 cm, and a healthy 140 cm on top.


Lift-wise, the big news today is the opening of the Prince Romance lift, aka Lift C. This is the beginner lift at the New Prince Hotel. Snow escalator not open yet. Things are shaping up fairly well. The weather looks nice and chilly for the coming week. A little more snow today.


Think snow.
