Furano Ski Resort is located just 10 minutes by car from downtown Furano in Hokkaido. It is also known as part of the “Hokkaido Powder Belt,” which boasts some of the world’s finest powder snow.

The resort is divided into two areas, the “Furano Zone” and the “Kitanomine Zone,” and features a total of 28 diverse courses. In 2022, to commemorate the resort’s 60th anniversary, six new courses making use of the natural terrain were added. Among them, Furano Forest, where you can ski as if navigating a maze through the woods, and Furano Wave, which offers ups and downs and jumps, are popular with children and beginners alike. The kids’ school and family activity areas are also well-equipped, making the resort especially popular with families during winter vacation. Night skiing is also available, allowing visitors to enjoy the slopes after dark.

The “Shin Furano Prince Hotel” is directly connected to the slopes, allowing ski-in/ski-out access. Nearby is Ningle Terrace, a popular shopping area of charming log-house shops nestled among the trees. In summer, visitors can enjoy lavender and hot air balloon rides, making it possible to fully experience nature throughout the year.

    Kitanomine is actually pretty weather-dependent. When the weather is good, the view as you ski down from the top is really beautiful. You can see Mt. Tokachi, the Daisetsuzan mountain range, and the Furano area, and it's very enjoyable to take in the scenery while skiing. But when there's heavy snow, fog, or strong winds, visibility drops significantly. Sometimes it's hard to even make out the contours of the snow ahead, so you really can't go too fast in those conditions.

    Overall, I don't think Kitanomine's runs are particularly complicated, but the snow quality is good and the runs are wide, making them very comfortable to ski.

    What impressed me most about Furano wasn't just how great the snow was for skiing, but how absolutely unreal the scenery was. Looking out from the slopes, the view opens up completely and stretches as far as the eye can see, making you momentarily forget that you came there to ski.

    Powder snow is Furano's signature, but first-tracks corduroy in the morning, freshly groomed and completely untouched, is also an experience worth getting up early for in Furano.

    After skiing all day, I thought I wouldn't have any energy left at night, but when I saw the slopes lit up, I couldn't resist putting my ski boots back on. It's colder at night, so the snow surface is a little harder than during the day, and you feel the speed more; if your technique is solid, it's really satisfying for practicing carving, but once the snow surface gets icy, it really hurts when you fall 😭

    Skiing in Hokkaido is seriously so much fun! The snow is so soft and light, and the ride down is incredibly smooth. It was my first time experiencing what it means to not want to stop skiing. So exhilarating!
