Furano has hosted many F.I.S. world cup skiing and snowboarding events and has a very strong ski heritage. Furano resort boasts 10 ski lifts including a 101 person cable car, a 6 person gondola and several high-speed quad chairs spread over two areas – the Furano zone (open late Nov – early May) and the Kitanomine zone (early Dec – late Mar). The terrain is predominantly suited to good intermediates and novices, with lots of long cruising trails – the longest is 3.3km. The snow falls here in literally epic proportions – the powder is virtually guaranteed! Furano is at the centre of one of the world’s best powder stashes – the resort is in the middle of Hokkaido making the snow drier than Niseko or Rusutsu. The snowfall is immense, light, dry and reliable. The best time to guarantee fresh powder is late December through to mid-March.
