Mike Pow 52 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's time to register to get the early booking discount. No financial commitment until you go to pick up the pass So if you're considering spending more than 20 days or 50 hrs in the Niseko Resort Area then I'd recommend registering asap Booking Form Link to post Share on other sites

Tex 3 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have asked before but never got an answer... Hirafu Club Membership, how does one get it? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 When you pick up the season pass you can pay the additional cost. It was 1,000 yen last time I did it. Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Wow that is expensive Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Three resorts MP, and back when I spent a season there it was almost that much for Hirafu alone. At that time they were doing the three different parts of Hirafu individually too. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 It's certainly pretty expensive compared to some of the season pass deals you can get in the US though. And it's really 4 ski areas. Hanazono and Hirafu may now call themselves Grand Hirafu but they are very distinctly 2 separate ski areas. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 This include Nighta ? Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting what happens when better management comes in and takes over. Back in the day there was no difference. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Pow 52 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yep. One lap back to the quad and then join the queue about 50 back, or two laps back to the quad and join the back of the queue. Two laps every time Link to post Share on other sites
mitchpee 10 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Welp I signed up, hopefully if I get the job out there they give me some sort of discounted pass because I don't think I can afford that Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Pow 52 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Who you planning on working for MitchPee? Normally the pass comes with the job. Link to post Share on other sites

Hang at the top of the quad rather than take second run or you could scorch a run back to the gondola couldn't you then knee cap a few charging for miharashi Link to post Share on other sites
