Furano Ski Area is now closed for the season.

Early morning temperatures are tropical so it is going to be a real warm one on the mountain and it is entering t-shirt skiing territory.

It is snowing lightly this morning and the village is once again coated in a layer of white.

The snow has arrived as forecast and it has been snowing since early this morning.

The weekend turned out to be a stonker with a snow front delivering new powder snow which was much appreciated given that we are now well into April.

Should be a great day after more snow yesterday and the snow, though still a little wet, was more powdery then expected.

What a change around. We knew the rain would change to snow yesterday but it dumped a good part of the day to give us up to 25cm.

With temperatures fluctuating over the last few days between warm and freezing, snow conditions on the mountain have been varying between icy and soft spring.

As predicted a snow front arrived yesterday afternoon and delivered 8cm of snow at village level.

March conditions continue to provide some fine skiing.

This morning we have overcast skies but clear weather surrounding the mountain.

The moderate wind from yesterday has reduced and now there are only light breezes blowing.

There has been a small amount of fresh snow overnight which is now sitting on top of a firm base.

Will be a fantastic day on the mountain with March continuing to deliver great snow and a decent amount of it.
