How It Works
What is an Indy Pass?
The Indy Pass is both a physical and cloud-based pass that gives you two free lift tickets and a third discounted day at each one of our Partner Resorts.
How to Buy A Pass
The 24/25 Indy Pass is currently sold out. Sign up for the waitlist to be notified if it goes back on sale, pending new resort additions and added capacity.
Indy Pass limits the number of passes sold each season to stay true to the independent, less-crowded nature of our member mountains.
FAQs
How do i use my pass?
To use your Indy Pass, simply walk up to the ticket window and show your physical pass or a government issued ID. They will print you a day ticket, process a redemption for the day and you're free to ski! Some resorts have blackout dates and/or require advanced reservations. Please check the blackout dates page or individual resort pages for more information.
Your pass may only be redeemed once per day and is non-transferrable.
Indy Pass Card (RFID)
The physical Indy Pass will include benefits such as direct-to-lift access at select Indy resorts (participating partners will be announced at a later date), expedited lift ticket pick-up at all Indy resorts, and discounts on products and services from Indy Pass partners. If you lose your RFID Card, you may present a government issued ID at any of our partner resorts and they will process your redemption.

Capacity Limits

Added capacity will depend on the amount of new resorts added to the pass for the upcoming season. There will be no guarantee, so purchase the Indy Pass as soon as possible to ensure your spot.
