Kitanomine Zone is Open
The Kitanomine Zone of the Furano Ski Resort opened on schedule yesterday. Lifts F & G are open, with some runs still closed awaiting more snow. The Gondola (Lift K) is still closed for several more days for lack of snow on some portions.
The big news this season is the remodeling of the Kitanomine Gondola terminal, with new carpet, paint, furniture and lockers. It looks great. In addition, the Gondola had new ski racks installed that will hold the wider modern skis.
