Rusutsu Resort in Hokkaido has announced a new special ticket for the 2025-26 season, offering an additional 10 hours of skiing for a total of 35 hours at the same price as the existing 25-hour advance ticket.
Sales will be limited from Monday, October 20th to 4:00 PM on Friday, October 31st. From November onwards, the version will switch to the conventional +5 hour version, so this will be a special offer only for these 10 days.
The adult fare remains the same at 34,700 yen (33,100 yen if purchased online), with an additional 10 hours added at no extra charge. Tickets for seniors and junior and senior high school students are priced at 28,900 yen (27,700 yen online), and for elementary school students and younger, the price is 17,400 yen (16,600 yen online). After purchasing online, you will receive a QR code that can be easily exchanged at the automatic ticket machines inside the stadium once the season begins.
The facility is valid until March 31, 2026, and is exclusive to Rusutsu Resort, so multiple people cannot share it. However, it offers excellent value for money for dedicated skiers and snowboarders. If you spend two hours at night on a weekday and a full day on the weekend, you can effectively use 35 hours from the beginning of the season through to early spring.
For those who visit in particular in search of powder, this will essentially be a "reward ticket" that will quickly recoup its value if you add in a few full-day snow days.
Sales will run for just 10 days until the end of October, and for skiers and snowboarders who don't plan on buying a season pass but are definitely planning to ski, this is the most important ticket you'll want to secure.
