Legendary Season Pass FAQs

How have passes or prices changed for the 2026/27 winter season? 

We now offer four passes: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and a new Platinum Pass. 

Season passes are Free for anyone ages 0-4 (Gold) and 80+ (Gold) and start at $99 for ages 5-12, $299 for ages 13-30 and $429 for ages 31-79.

Our pricing has been simplified into three age-based tiers, and the Silver Pass blackouts have been reduced, with no blackouts at Black River Basin.

What is the Ikon Pass? 

The Ikon Pass provides access to 70+ iconic mountain destinations worldwide, including Aspen, Steamboat, Jackson Hole, Big Sky, Alta, Snowbird, Deer Valley, Taos, Sun Valley, Banff, Revelstoke, Chamonix, Zermatt, St. Moritz, Cortina, and Niseko.  

 

Lutsen Mountains, Granite Peak, and Snowriver join as full Ikon Partner Resorts for 2026/27. 

Full list: www.ikonpass.com 

How can I ski Ikon Pass resorts? 

The new Platinum Pass allows discounted Ikon Pass add-ons: 

  • Ikon Base Add-On: $299 
  • Ikon Pass Add-On: $799 

(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.

How many days can Ikon Pass holders ski Legendary Midwest resorts? 

Ikon Base Pass: 5 days at each resort (blackouts apply) 

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

What upgrades are coming for 2026/27?

We have tons of new upgrades planned for the 2026/27 season including:

  • 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 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. 

Where can I find information about last year's season pass?

Information for the 2025/26 Season Pass can be found here.

Can I get a refund for my 26/27 pass after purchase?

Can I defer my unused 26/27 Legendary pass to another season?
