Well the best times of this ski hill have now passed. The developers have arrived, and the crowds! Prices have skyrocketed both for the accomodation and the lift passes. The side country off-piste is also pretty smacked now with lots of so called 'back country' tour groups. Been to Hokkaido every year for the last 20 years, and Furano has been a regular visit, but it's had its day Times have changed.
