muikabochi 208 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Do you buy season tickets? Get a deal for living there? Get a deal from work? I'm interested because my town has 8 resorts or so, and there is no ticket that we can buy - unless you have kids at school when you can get a town ticket for 30,000 yen. So I either get by on actually buying tickets (shock! - though we can get a small individual ticket discount), from a few friends or sj when I have won something. Is there anything in Hakuba, Niseko, other places? Link to post Share on other sites
tsondaboy 0 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 muika, I am 99% sure that mitsumata permanent residents get discount tickets for kagura. It sounds strange you cant get a better deal up there. Link to post Share on other sites

wattiewatson 0 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 yeah, the Japanese resort industry is fragmented. To the point that there are even ski grounds that have different sets of owners for different lifts within the same resort. Its like having subset shareholders, or different class shareholders. I think its difficult for them all to agree and offer an area wide pass which suck for me as i would like to visit more resorts but i am not willing to cough up for heaps of day passes when i might just want to do a couple of runs at a resort. I would pay international prices ie (Whistler is not cheap) for a pass if it gave me a good number of mountains. Matt Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I have to buy a season ticket for the whole mountain (Niseko) but if you have a pension up here they will give you a hirafu pass for 5 man, not bad but when Hirafu gets cranking during Janustralia, it is better to head over to Higashi and Annapuri.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 5 man - how much is it for "normal people"? Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I think about 8 man but that translates into only 20 days so a lot of people who come for a month will still buy a seasons pass. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 A 4 week pass is 4 man - 28days and 28 nights A season pass is 8 man 7 Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted December 21, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 21, 2007 If you live in Yuzawa you can buy a season ticket for the resorts in Yuzawa. I'm not quite sure how much it is (I try not to think about it living in the next town, which doesn't even have one you can buy). Link to post Share on other sites
