Indy Pass Adds 33 Alpine Ski Areas in 11 Countries, Passes Back on Sale

Mont Sutton, Owl's Head headline a strong push into Quebec

First, Indy Pass is back on sale “only while supplies last.” Here are the rates:

This is going to get very confusing, very fast, so if you’re just here to see the newly added Indy Pass ski areas for 2025-26, here they are:

Two of these – Dry Hill, New York and McIntyre, New Hampshire – convert from Indy’s Allied discount program to full partners. That leaves just five ski areas on Indy Allied: Mont Ripley, Michigan; Paul Bunyan, Wisconsin; Cherry Peak, Utah; Skaneateles, New York; and King Pine, New Hampshire.

These 33 additions join the five ski areas Indy added in March:

Today’s announcement gives Indy Pass a total of 214 Alpine ski areas for the 2025-26 winter. Passholders can cash in two days at each resort (a handful of ski areas share days). Here’s Indy’s full Alpine roster for 2025-26:

Indy drops five partners that participated last year: two UK snowdomes, and longtime U.S. partners Montage, Pennsylvania; Swiss Valley, Michigan; and Buck Hill, Minnesota. They join a relatively short list of ski areas to exit Indy in its six-year history:

Indy also added five new cross-country ski areas. I no longer actively track XC areas, but the five additions are Bear Basin Nordic, Idaho; Loge Glacier XC, Montana; Plain Valley XC, Washington; Mt. Washington XC, British Columbia; and Leukerbad Gemmi Nordic Resort in Switzerland.

Thirty ski areas – the majority in eastern North America – signed on to Indy’s new three-day Learn-to-Turn pass, which includes a lift ticket, rentals, and a lesson. The pass will remain on sale all year, and Indy Passholders will receive three vouchers for $40 off a Learn-to-Turn pass.

There are a ton of resort-specific asterisks here that black out certain days and limit the lift tickets to beginner terrain, but the skier can redeem all three tickets at the same ski area.

There is a lot to break down here. I’m going to stick with a high-level summary post today, with more detailed breakdowns of each region over the next week or two. But I’ll leave you with these thoughts:

Filling in the blanks in America

Indy’s seven new American additions plus two Allied-to-full-partner conversions give the pass 138 full and five Allied partners across the United States. None of these new mountains are terribly significant, but many fill in already-dense regions with additional options: Sunburst in Wisconsin is very close to several existing Indy partners in the Milwaukee suburbs, and Little Ski Hill sits just down the road from Indy giant Brundage, Idaho. Hyland Hills, the archetype of the Midwest high-speed ropetow, parks-oriented bump, fills in the blank left by nearby Buck Hill’s departure. Other new ski areas come with asterisks: Buffalo Ski Center is generally closed to the public on weekends, and it’s unclear if Indy will act as a weekday-only product, as it does with similarly set up Hunt Hollow, New York (which Indy+ passholders can access on weekends). Cuchara, Colorado, is a bit of a fingers-crossed addition, as the small ski area has been attempting to repair its lower-mountain chairlift for several years.

Busting down the door in Eastern Canada, finally

Eastern Canada – big, cold, snowy, populous, ski-mad – has long been Indy’s next logical frontier. Today’s 10 new ski areas across Quebec, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador more than double Indy’s presence in the region to 17 total ski areas in the eastern half of the country (and another dozen across British Columbia and Alberta). The additions of neighboring Mont Sutton and Owl’s Head, situated between Montreal and Jay Peak, is especially significant.

Europe ka-boom

Today’s 12 EuroAdditions more than doubles Indy’s presence in Europe, with 20 total ski resorts across nine countries, including the pass’ first partners in Germany, Norway, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, and France (Portes du Soleil is 12 ski areas situated along the Swiss border). As with anything European, many of these resorts are enormous, confusing, and directly or loosely tied with neighboring resorts that may or may not participate in Indy Pass. I’ll bust out my EuroDecoder ring and report back.

A bit of Japan filler

The two Japan resorts appear to be on the smaller and less-snowy side, but they boost the pass’ total roster to 28 ski areas across eight prefectures. That’s more than all the other U.S.-based multimountain passes offer, combined, in Japan.

Anyway, lots more to come on Indy and U.S.-based pass growth in general. Subscribe so it will find you via email:
