Furano Ski Resort
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.
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.
