After 2 days of heavy snow showers, the Furano Ski Resort started its winter ski season this morning!
Lots of people enjoyed the first day of skiing on beautiful natural snow!
The skiable runs are limited to those around the upper part of the Furano Ropeway.
But more snow is forecast this week, and the ski resort's dedicated snow making team will keep on working hard.
So that will allow runs to be open from the top to the bottom soon.
There is a special arrangement for those who don't ski but would like to enjoy the winter scenery at the top of the mountain.
1,000 yen per ticket including a return trip on the Ropeway and 1 drink at restaurant Downhill which is next to the Furano Ropeway Top Station (usually 1,850 yen).
Available at the Furano Ropeway ticket counter.
How about having lunch whilst viewing the white winter scenery?
