The 2026/27 season is planned to open on 1 Dec (the resort’s announcement; it moves with the snow). The snowfall below is a model figure and does not mean the slopes are skiable.
This season is planned to run until 5 Apr (the resort’s announcement).

The five add up to the 100-point Powder Score: more fresh snow, more on the way and colder air all push it up. How we measure
Only limited express trains stop at Tomamu Station, where a resort shuttle bus meets arrivals. The ski area spans two peaks, Tower Mountain and Tomamu Mountain. In winter the top of the Unkai Gondola becomes the Frost Tree Terrace, with rime-coated trees in the foreground and the Hidaka Mountains beyond. Non-skiers can ride up too.

Furano Is Being Called the Next Niseko. Its Snow Record Says Something More Interesting.Land in Furano's Kitamine district rose 27.1% in 2025, the steepest in Japan, and Hong Kong, Malaysian and Marriott money has followed. But Furano ranks 237th of 397 Japanese ski areas for snowfall. What it does have is the steadiest winter of any big-name resort in the country: 13% variation over 12 winters, and 93% of normal in the El Niño year that cut Niseko to 57%.
