[Hakuba Area] Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field

[Until December 13th (Sun)] Get 12 special offers and save nearly 30,000 yen compared to the regular price!

Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field is said to be one of the top ski resorts secretly frequented by Hakuba locals. The main reasons for its popularity are its excellent terrain for freeriding, the fact that it's the only resort in the Hakuba area with slopes that lead towards the Northern Alps, and the low competition for powder snow. The resort's design preserves the fun of the natural terrain, with large bowls, undulating ridges, and ravines remaining ungroomed, becoming the best powder areas after fresh snowfall. In addition, the long course from the summit to the base of the mountain offers opportunities to play by hitting down the walls

Early bird season passes are on sale until December 13th (Sunday). There are various options available for repeat visitors, locals, and MTB season pass holders. With 12 perks included, the adult season pass is normally 79,500 yen, but is available for 49,800 yen, a saving of 29,700 yen
