LIFT PASSES

There is a lift pass sales office at the base of the Family Pair lift just adjacent to Suiboku. The passes are electronic cards that get placed in a pocket on your upper left side to be passed in front of the electronic readers at the lift stations. There are 39 lifts and gondolas that form the greater Niseko United ski fields of Grand Hirafu, Annupuri, Higashiyama, and Hanazono.

Concierge Tip: If you are a beginner or just intermediate level you might want to consider getting just a Grand Hirafu lift pass (instead of an All Mountain pass)). The Grand Hirafu has the benefit of including the Hanazono slopes which are readily accessible and often used during lessons. Together, the Grand Hirafu and Hanazono areas make up about 60% of the total skiing area of the Niseko United ski fields.

Some basics:

• Children 6 and under ski for free (bring ID or passport to establish age)
• Youngsters over six and teens pay for no more than 7 days per vacation
• The Concierge can obtain your lift tickets in advance (at cost), which will save you a bit of time on the first ski morning, so please let us help you get off to a quick start.
• There are lots of special ticket offers and various options based on which part of the mountain you wish to ski during your stay...so, please don't hesitate to discuss this with us to come up with the optimal combination of ski passes for you and your family.
