Tsugaike takes part in the NSD Kids Program for the 2025-2026 winter. With this program, children get a season pass that works at 14 group resorts across Japan, including Tsugaike.
The program needs one small fee. It was 1,800 yen until 31 January 2026, and 3,500 yen from 1 February 2026. For families with young children, this can lower the cost of a ski trip.

More news and updates from Tsugaike and Hakuba
Tsugaike ran a long 2025-2026 season and closed on 6 May 2026. The top Tsuga-no-mori run still had about 96 centimetres of snow near the end.
Hakuba Tsugaike opened for the 2025-2026 season on 1 December 2025. The start was first delayed by low snow, then confirmed once conditions improved.
For 2025-2026, Tsugaike added 11 more snow machines for its Loop 4000 area, about 4,000 metres long. This helps the resort open with reliable snow earlier in the season.
