Posted on Sunday 9th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Glorious day yesterday and probably one of the top 5 days of powder for the season. This will continue today after another good fall overnight but the snow will ease of a little today.
Found yesterday that many of the lesser used runs had a abundant amount of snow that was untouched and ones to try out today will be the Challenge run on the Furano side or the Lesson runs for beginners wanting the best experience without having to go all the way to the top.
Again today winds are slight but won't affect things and with luck it will be a slightly warmer day though it hasn't been cold which also makes it a magical time at the moment.
