While there’s still plenty of spring tracks to be had, now is the perfect time to start planning your snow-ventures for winter 2019-20!
For the second year running, Niseko United will be a full member of two of the best lift ticket programs around – Ikon Pass and the Mountain Collective pass – covering both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, so you can ski all year long for a fraction of the price.
Last year we did a comparison between the two passes to help you choose which one was best for you – check it out here. Both passes have just launched their early-bird pricing and deals for next winter, offering even more savings for those who get in early.
Here’s what’s new for both passes this year:

IKON Pass – Adult US$949*
– The IKON pass offers unlimited days skiing at 14 US resorts + 7 days at a further 24 resorts around the world.
– Payment plans available, with just US$199 deposit and four monthly instalments June-Sept 2019
– Two discounted childrens’ passes (US$199 each) for each full adult pass (previously only one child per full adult pass)
– Young adult discount now available for ages 13-23
– Spring skiing available from March 5 2019 at Big Bear Mountain Resort, Snowshoe, and Blue Mountain and from April 8 2019 at Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, Mammoth Mountain, Winter Park Resort, Solitude, Crystal Mountain, and Tremblant.

Mountain Collective pass – US$449*
– The Mountain Collective pass offers two free days skiing at 16 resorts around the world + 50% off for further days.
– Valle Nevado, Chile, now a full partner (previously an affiliate).
– Early purchase for lowest price available and a free 3rd bonus day to any mountain of your choice.
– Childrens’ passes for UD$99 each

*Prices accurate at 7 March 2019 and subject to change
With so much on offer and great deals available, be sure to buy your pass soon so you don’t miss out on the savings. We look forward to seeing you at Niseko United next winter!
