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. While our Legendary Pass continues to provide unlimited access to our home resorts, 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.

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.
