富良野スキー場 富良野ZONE

overall a pretty good place to ski at with some important considerations. generally better for strong beginner skiers and onwards from my experience, although complete beginners can have a good time too, though with relative more effort definitely. came with my girlfriend who is new to skiing, there are 2 bunny slopes here, 1 seems to only be accessible if you have lessons (not sure how strict this is) and the other is free for all, although the latter isn't as good as the entrance to this bunny isn't as well maintained, making it a bit too steep and narrow as well for beginners to access comfortably. i started skiing in europe and was surprised by the difference in difficulty standards of the slopes here, the greens in japan are more similar to the blues in europe from my experience and so on and forth. for example one of the greens in furano side had an average slope angle of 20 degrees with the max being 25 degrees, contrasting to Europe's average of 10-15 degrees from my experience. slopes are also well maintained and not too crowded, the price of a full day ski pass here is more affordable and very worth it. food options are however limited and very crowded, so i suggest bringing your own food for lunch instead the views here are simply immaculate too.. and the night skiing was well maintained and very fun as well, with way less people on the slopes 😉

Amazing Snow Quality and Wide Slopes The snow quality was soft, deep, and perfect for both skiing and snowboarding. The slopes are wide and enjoyable. One thing to note: check the daily slope openings and lift operating times

Rubbish!!!! We had waited over 45 mins for the ropeway… this is because they let the ski/snowboard schools to have priority to get into the car first. So it’s always half full for the students already!!! This is very unfair! We also paid for the entrance ticket. It’s not like we are the free riders. 😡😡😡😡😡

Fantastic views and consistent quality snow across the years. Nice pow across the season. It's odd that they open their gondola at a predetermined date instead of depending on snow conditions?

I chose this ski resort initially because it had wide slopes for beginners. However, during my recent visit, their lift broke down, and I saw people hanging on the lift for more than 30 minutes waiting for rescue. I think they have poor maintenance at the ski resort, and I do not recommend it.

Great ski resort! If you’re skiing here, this hotel is basically mandatory. Rental shop right out front—just step outside, strap in, and pray for good balance. No long walks, no heavy lifting—just you, the snow, and the occasional wipeout!

Snow is powder type and friendly for beginner. Off seasons kind of less crowded and have more rooms to learnt to ski. Only downside that it only open till 1600hrs.

Very nice skiing area. But, one lift Furano Downhill Swift Lift no. 1 is out of service. Therefore, the whole lift service of the area is out of sync. Therefore you must wait 30-60 minutes for the gondola service on a regular weekday. We are having a nice experience skiing, but this lift at fault really give you less value for money and time. Check out if the lift service is running before going? Also, contrary to all other gondola operators, they do not fill up the platform while waiting for a gondola arrival. So, first, at arrival the line start to move - loosing another 10 minutes. The egg lifts here take 6 person but they fill with 2-4 persons. This way, the line build up and creates more waiting time than needed. Both the gondola and egg lift lines steel valuable time from skiing - sad since it is not necessary.
