How do i use my pass?

Your Indy Pass  (Indy+ and Indy Base) includes two days of skiing or riding at each of our Partner Resorts, plus a discounted third day.

To use it, simply go to the ticket window at any partner resort and show either your physical Indy Pass or a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license. The resort will process your redemption and print a day ticket, and you’re ready to hit the slopes. Physical Indy Passes will ship between late November and late December. You can track how many days you've used in your Indy Pass account.

Before you go: Some resorts have blackout dates or require advance reservations. Blackout dates apply to Indy Base Pass holders only; Indy+ Pass holders aren’t subject to blackouts. Check the Blackout Dates & Reservations page before planning your visit.

Indy Pass does not guarantee access to a resort partner's events or special programming beyond the scope of a regular lift ticket. Examples may include races, music festivals, competitions, etc.

Your pass may only be redeemed once per day and is non-transferable.

Resorts using RFID access systems may charge an additional fee for the purchase of the resort-specific RFID card.  These cards are typically reusable and last multiple seasons, so please hold on to them and reuse them on your next visit to these resorts. 

physical Indy Pass Card

Physical Indy Passes ship between late November and the new year. You don’t need to wait for your card to start skiing, though. Once your pass is activated, you can use your ski days right away by showing a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, at the ticket window of any partner resort. The resort will process your redemption and print a day ticket, and you’re ready to hit the slopes.

Make sure your pass is activated. To avoid shipping delays, log in to your profile and confirm your account shows as “Ready to Ski.” Activation requires:

• A headshot photo uploaded (no sunglasses or hats)
• A signed waiver
• Completed payment

Add-On and Employee Passes also require photo verification. This is reviewed manually and can take up to four business days. 

When does the Indy Pass season begin and end

Each ski season begins June 1 and ends on May 31.
