Overview:
Mountain Ticket is an app that allows you to charge tickets—exchangeable for a wide range of activities and services available in Hakuba Village, Nozawa Onsen Village, and Otari Village—directly onto your lift pass card.
Your lift pass card continues to function as usual, while also serving as a convenient ticket holder. Since you always carry your lift pass card at ski resorts, there is no need to worry about smartphone battery life or to remove your goggles and gloves to unlock and show your phone screen.

Benefits of Chargeing Tickets onto a Lift Pass Card:
Mountain Ticket is designed specifically for use at ski resorts. In these environments, unlocking a smartphone while wearing gloves and goggles can be inconvenient, battery consumption tends to be high, and network conditions are often unstable—making on-screen digital tickets difficult to use.
By allowing tickets to be loaded onto lift pass cards that everyone already carries at ski resorts, Mountain Ticket enables seamless use of digital tickets without needing to carry or operate a smartphone on the slopes.
