Indy Pass Adds Two Resorts in California
PORTLAND, Ore. (August 24, 2022) – The Indy Pass announced today that two of California's most popular independent resorts have joined the coalition for the 22/23 season. Mountain High, in SoCal's San Gabriel Mountains, is now conveniently paired with Snow Valley, while the Bay Area's Dodge Ridge joins Indy partner China Peak in the Central Sierras. Indy Pass holders from San Francisco to Los Angeles have cause to celebrate as none of the resorts will have any blackout restrictions for Base Pass holders.
Another powder day in the San Gabriel Mountains at SoCal's closest resort, Mountain High.
"This off-season, we've worked very hard to increase our number of Western partnerships, and Mountain High and Dodge Ridge are two outstanding mountains joining our family of resorts, said Indy Pass founder Doug Fish. The Indy Pass now has more West Coast U.S. resorts than ALL other passes combined."
"As ski conglomerates continue to swallow up independent resorts, locally-owned California ski areas are becoming increasingly rare, said Karl Kapuscinski, owner of Mountain High and Dodge Ridge. We are proud to stand with the hundreds of family-run resorts across the country that offer affordable, uncrowded slopes and a refreshing alternative to the corporate model."
The "mushroom caps" in Boulder Canyon make Dodge Ridge a must-visit for powder seekers.
