Last Day for 20% off an Annual Storm Subscription
And some other useful resources
Hi Team - The Storm’s 20 percent off sale will end tomorrow at noon. Subscribing will get you below the paywall on all past, present, and future Storm articles, and will lock in that rate for as long as you renew.
In the meantime, here are a few other things I’ve been working on:
All 2026-27 U.S. ski season pass prices for individual resorts, along with add-on passes and buddy ticket benefits summaries (I’m adding ski areas as I see them, so a few aren’t on there yet).
Prices and access dates for all spring passes.
Detailed rosters for Epic, Ikon, Indy, and Mountain Collective passes that include pass access, mountain stats, and lift fleets. Current prices are here, and a chart that shows per-day-use prices is here. For gawking purposes, here are all season passes from most to least expensive.
Lists of all ski areas in Japan, Canada, Europe, and America that are current members of Epic, Ikon, Indy, or Mountain Collective. There’s also a global list of all 399 ski areas that have joined those four passes.
Company rosters for Vail, Alterra, Mountain Capital Partners, Boyne, Powdr, California Mountain Resort Company, Pacific Group Resorts, Midwest Family Ski Resorts, Aspen Skiing Company
A list of all 489 active U.S. ski areas for the 2025-26 winter - here are the 12 ski areas with so-far unconfirmed status.
Active U.S. ski areas divided into four lists: public with aerial lifts, public with surface lifts only, private with aerial lifts, and private with surface lifts only (scroll right at click-through to view all four lists).
An inventory of 76 U.S. ski areas on status watch - meaning they could reactive soon, have missed at least one recent winter, or are otherwise a known dormant entity that could re-open.
Rankings of vertical drop, base elevation, summit elevation, skiable acreage, and average annual snowfall in the United States, the West, the Midwest, the East, and New England (scroll right at click-through to view all charts)
These lists are the foundation of The Storm’s reporting, and help me write stories more complex than “Big Ski Companies Bad.” And I’m gathering more data all the time, then flipping those insights into deep analysis of the current state of lift-served skiing. I’d love to have you along:
