Temperatures rose well above 0c yesterday and have stayed that way through the night. It is currently +9c at the base of the Furano Zone and it looks like these warm temperatures will persist through until this evening. It is an overcast day but still bright with the strong sun managing to penetrate the cloud cover. Snow conditions will be soft and heavy as we welcome spring skiing. Currently there is a light wind that has picked up over the last hour and it is whipping around the base area. Some snow is still on the forecast for Saturday.
