Posted on Monday 9th May 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here.
Furano Ski Area is now closed for the season.
Sunday May 8 was the last day of operation, so we made it all the way through to the end of Golden Week.
It has been a long and enjoyable season but all good things must come to an end, and it is finally good to be able to put a protective layer of wax on the skis and put them into storage for a few months.
This was another season of great snow conditions with plenty of powder on and off piste. The season was another where the international skiers could not come but it already looks promising for a return to normality before next winter, in terms of Japan's borders opening up to tourism again.
Just a reminder that there is a wealth of interesting snow statistics available in Furano Now, both for this season and past winters.
That's it from Furano Now for a few months while we enjoy the green season. We will be active and updating here again later in the year as winter approaches.
