What’s a 25 hour lift ticket?

A 25 hour ticket provides access to the lifts in 25, one hour increments. When a user passes through the first IC lift ticket gate 1 hour is initially deducted from the lift ticket with users free to access any lift for the next 60 mins. 24 hours will be remaining on the ticket. After 60 mins have elapsed if the user passes through another IC gate a further hour will be deducted from the lift ticket. A total of 25 hours can be enjoyed throughout the winter season by purchasing this pass.

For example, if a guest purchases a 25 hour ticket and passes through the first IC gate at 09:00, their pass will be deducted one hour. From this point, passholders can access multiple times via all IC gates until 09:59. At 10:00, the passholder may still be on the lift, skiing, or snowboarding. Therefore, if a guest next passes through an IC gate at 10:20, they will be deducted a further 1 hour from this time. Guests once again can access all IC gates until 11:19. The time when a guest passes through the IC gate determines the time from which the hour will be deducted.

Once a guest has passed through the IC gate it will likely take additional time to ride the lift and ski and snowboard to the base area. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy more than 1 hour of skiing/snowboarding with this ticket.

Also, 25 hour lift ticket passholders can rest easy as the lifts which return guests to the base area are free of charge (Across No.1, Across No.2, East Gondola No.1 & Tower Pair).
