Furano live cameras for the Furano and Kitanomine zones: snow surface, visibility and crowds, plus current snow depth and the 7-day snowfall forecast.
Check these cameras before you leave to decide whether today is worth the drive. Furano gets dry inland snow, so the frames blow out white during a storm, and on clear days they show the Tokachi range.
2026-27 season: opening Sat, November 28, planned closing Wed, May 5 (source: resort site, checked October 27).
Cameras are expected to come back online when the season starts (opening: Sat, November 28). Some cameras stream all year: press play to try one.

Furano Ropeway Summit: Last seen 2026-11-07; Mountaintop Snow Gauge: Last seen 2026-10-31.
Snow depth and the 7-day snowfall forecast are weather-model values for the resort's location.
Furano Zone: The main mountain reached by ropeway. Shows upper-mountain visibility and the surface on the wide intermediate pistes. Lifts here are the first to stop on a windy morning, so check this view first.
Kitanomine Zone: The village side where most lodging sits, including the gentle terrain and the night-skiing runs. Best view for judging beginner conditions.
Base area: The car park and ticket windows. Weekend mornings fill with Sapporo day-trippers, so this helps you decide what time to arrive.
Between 7 and 9 a.m. you can clearly see how much snow fell overnight and how the grooming went in.
A completely white frame means it is snowing or fogged in. Wait a few hours if you want views; go early if you want the powder.
After dusk only the lit Kitanomine runs show anything. Use the snow depth and forecast figures instead.
How often do the cameras update? Still images refresh on the schedule the source sets; live streams update continuously.
Do the cameras run outside opening hours? Most run around the clock, but at night you only see what the lights reach. Some feeds stop outside the season.
Where do I find the snow depth? The Furano resort page has current base depth, a seven-day snowfall forecast and temperatures.
