- Ikon Base Add-On: $299

(Save up to $600)
Is the Ikon Pass or a Legendary Midwest Pass best for locals?
The main differences between the two options are:
- Legendary Midwest Pass: Ski as much as you like at all three resorts.
- Ikon Pass: 5-7 days per resort.
We recommend the Platinum Pass + Ikon Pass add-on as the best option for locals to get the most out their 2026/27 season pass.

Ikon Pass: 7 days at each resort (no blackouts)

- New high-speed surface lift at Lutsen
- Expanded snowmaking
- New lodging and larger chalet capacities
- New express ticket pickup kiosks
- Expanding chalet capacity with lunch service at Charlie's Alpine Bistro
Why Platinum Pass + Ikon Add-On?

- Unlimited Access to Lutsen, Granite Peak and Snowriver
- $200 Mountain Money & 10 Friends & Family Tickets
- Discounts of up to $650 on Ikon Passes
Compared with Ikon Base Pass alone:
- $101 less for ages 23-30 + unlimited access to Legendary Midwest Resorts
- $149 more for ages 13-22 and 31-79 + unlimited access to Legendary Midwest Resorts
- $501 less than Ikon Base for ages 80+ plus unlimited access to Legendary Midwest Resorts
Why Ikon pass instead of Indy pass?
As early Indy Partners, we greatly admire the Indy Pass and its growth to include over 200 ski areas. However, as the Midwest’s only large, full-service mountain destinations across a 10-state region, our new partnership with the Ikon Pass offers unparalleled flexibility.
Our mission is to provide Midwestern families with a high-quality resort experience close to home while building traditions that inspire a lifelong love of winter sports and the communities we serve. Our partnership with the Ikon Pass strengthens the Midwest ski trip tradition by giving guests optional access to iconic mountain destinations around the world, while still enjoying their home resort.
We remain proudly independent as a third-generation family business. Joining the Ikon Pass doesn’t change how we operate—it simply adds another option for guests. Our Legendary passes and ticket products will continue to focus on creating memorable ski experiences for Midwest families.
Our 26/27 Legendary Pass continues to provide unlimited access to our home resorts and the Ikon Pass grants several days at each of our three locations plus the opportunity to explore more than 70 iconic mountain destinations across North America and around the globe.
why are you still on the indy pass website?
25/26 Indy Pass holders still have access to Granite Peak, Lutsen Mountains and Snowriver, and we look forward to having you on our slopes for the remainder of the 25/26 ski season.
Will a Flex Pass still be offered?
Flex Pass options are under evaluation and will be announced later with session and multi-day tickets.
Are the resorts still family-owned?
Yes, we remain independent, family-run businesses rooted in our local communities.
Is there a cancellation policy?
All Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum Legendary Pass purchases are final at the time of purchase – no changes, transfers, credits, or refunds.
Where can I find information about last year's season pass?
Information for the 2025/26 Season Pass can be found here.
