For Iwappara and Kandatsu, you must exchange the season pass for a 1 day lift ticket, and then at the end of the day, go back to reclaim your pass. At the other resorts, the pass itself is valid for lifts. Link to post Share on other sites
BeerTengoku 35 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Now that is a good deal for someone like me! Do you have a link to the lottery page? Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for the heads up dynna Why only 30 passes? And why a lottery? Link to post Share on other sites
dyna8800 3 Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 No idea why only 30 passes are being issued...you would think that they could sell a lot more. Often times special season passes are drawn by lottery, for example the Nagano resorts have a drawing for a 30,000 season pass to some of the majors and a lot of the minor resorts in Nagano. You can do a search for Snowlove, but closing date for that is in a few days. For Yuzawa I suppose you can do a search on: 湯沢温泉総合案内所 Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 180 Posted October 31, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted October 31, 2011 My colleague has spoken with the people offering this just to make sure of all the details and here they be. The 8 resorts that the season ticket covers are as follows: Gala Yuzawa, Yuzawa Kogen, Ipponsugi, NASPA Ski Garden, Iwappara, Yuzawa Park, Yuzawa Nakazato, Kandatsu Kogen To enter you need to send an email shown in this pdf file (in Japanese, but you can see the email address). In the email send you postcode, address and full name. Just one entry per person. The page where the offer is, but not much info other than the PDF file below http://www.yuzawaonsen.jp PDF file: http://www.yuzawaonsen.jp/season-pass.pdf I think that's it. Good luck if you enter!

muikabochi 208 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks for the heads up dynna Why only 30 passes? And why a lottery? It's just what they have decided on as a special promotion.... this is a ticket that does not normally exist. And remember, it's still not free - the 'winners' still need to pay 70,000 yen. It's not all the resorts in Yuzawa and not including Kagura or Naeba. If you see yourself going to those resorts more than 17 times, it might be a great opportunity but I doubt that there will be a huge mad rush to enter to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Here's what I would perhaps get out of it. Can't see me wanting to spend more time than below at these places, and I would probably be going because I have the ticket as well. Gala Yuzawa - 4 days Yuzawa Kogen - 1 day Ipponsugi - 0 days.... it's a tiny tiny one run place Naspa Ski Garden - 0 days...... skiers only Kandatsu - 3 days Iwappara - 2 days Yuzawa Nakazato - 1 day Yuzawa Park - 1 day So I don't think it's for me.

iiyamadude 6 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah not sure that is such an appealing group up there. If Naeba/Kagura were it, it would look very different. Link to post Share on other sites
