Independent snow and weather reporting from the Furano region of Hokkaido New snowfall at base 4cm Snowfall at base this season 498cm Posted on Sunday 23rd March 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Furano Now report can be found here . Good morning skiers & boarders, Welcome to the last day of operations for the Kitanomine Zone for this season. Unfortunately, the Gondola is closed due to wind. They tried hard, they really did. The cabins had been deployed, albeit in a less than normal density in case it got windy, and then suddenly the wind picked up and they closed it down--not a hard close; they'll open it later if the wind dies down...which it hasn't yet. Bummer, Dude! The good news is the Furano side is open for business as usual. Still and all, I'd ski the Kitanomine side today as it's the last day, and then you can ski Furano every day starting tomorrow. Oh, and we got some snow. 4 cm at the base, and the resort is reporting 15 cm on top. We need just a few more centimeters of snow if we're going to gonna break 500 cm total at the base this year. Definitely an off-year for Furano in terms of quantity this season. For comparison, here is the snow depth data for the last 5 seasons as of this date. There's usually almost no more snow at the base from this point onward, but on top is a different story. March 2025 -- 498 cm March 2024 -- 788 cm March 2023 -- 609 cm March 2022 -- 700 cm March 2021 -- 644 cm Counting this current season, that averages to 648 cm per season, putting this season is 23% below the recent average. The Furano Zone will continue operations through May 6, gradually closing lower lifts and runs, and transporting customers to the top lifts via the Ropeway. Even though the season is winding down, and spring/summer is around the corner, please continue to... Think Snow.
