Alyeska Joins the Ikon Pass for 2023-24 Ski Season

Alaska’s largest ski area will join as a standard 7/5-day partner

Alyeska, the largest and tallest ski area in Alaska, will join the Ikon Pass for the 2023-24 ski season. This is the first new addition to the pass since Sun Peaks and Grandvalira, Andorra joined in October, and the first U.S. additions since Sun Valley and Snowbasin fled Epic for Ikon last March.

The resort, which features a 60-passenger tram and four quads, will follow the standard Ikon Pass template: seven days with no blackouts for Ikon Pass holders, and five days with blackouts for Ikon Base Pass holders. The ski area will also join the Ikon Session Pass.
