Today is one of those days that seems perfect in every way. The resort is surrounded by blue sky with just the odd cloud sitting in the sea of blue. There is no significant wind and the sun is out in full strength. The cream on the pudding of course is the 11cm of new snow that has been received since yesterday's report was written. The slopes are in superb condition and there will be plenty of the new powder to have a play in today.

Tomorrow we will have warm temperatures into positive territory and that will bring with it rain at least at village level. Heavy snow is forecast from Thursday evening into Friday so hopefully that will eventuate and it may allow the resort to open the slopes back to the resort base.


Furano Zone is partially open with Furano Ropeway operating to upload and download skiers to and from the upper mountain. It is not possible to ski from the top to bottom of the mountain yet.
