Snow Report

It was a fantastic skiing day yesterday with new snow overnight.

The snow was silky-like powder at the top of the moutain.

People could enjoy knee-deep snow on the side of the runs or ungroomed runs.

The temperature will stay below zero for these 2 days,

so people can enjoy great skiing this weekend :D

 

 

 

Free tickets for the Furano Ropeway Cable car for international guests

Snow Report

Consecutive days of snow in April has made the town a pure white vista as it was in winter.
While cherry blossoms in Tokyo were announced to be blooming officially on March 31, those who have a chance to spend a holiday in Furano are enjoying good skiing.

There was a schuss race held for everyone offering lavish prizes on the Prince run last Sunday.

Furano Ski Area caters for all levels of skiers with good snow.
The snow will continue to fall through the week.
It would be a wonderful bonus week for people who love skiing/snowboarding :)
