穏やかな春の陽気。山頂直結ルートの風に注意

The summit area of Furano Ski Resort is expected to see temperatures ranging from 4.6℃ to 8.7℃ from the evening of May 5th through early morning on May 6th. There is no snow cover, and the ground condition from the base to the summit is generally dry. However, wet areas and mud are anticipated in shaded spots and along stream beds within the Furano Zone, requiring careful footing.

Current summit winds are moderate, but gusts are forecast to reach up to 24.1 m/s overnight. Even by 3:00 AM on May 6th, gusts of 19.5 m/s are expected. In exposed areas such as the directly accessible ropeway summit, there is a high possibility of being buffeted by strong winds. With these wind speeds, the apparent temperature will drop to around 0℃, increasing the risk of hypothermia. Appropriate cold weather gear is essential.

For daytime activities, a quick-drying base layer, a fleece or light down jacket as a mid-layer, and a windproof and waterproof shell jacket as an outer layer are mandatory. Gloves and a hat should also be carried. Activities from night to early morning are not recommended due to the significant drop in apparent temperature caused by strong winds. Hiking boots are sufficient, but choose waterproof ones to prepare for muddy conditions. Crampons or microspikes are not necessary.
