Turn 2 Days into 5 : A Letter from Indy Pass Director Erik Mogensen
Today we’re launching the Indy Pass Destination Upgrade, an optional add-on that lets active Indy Passholders add 3 more days of skiing/riding at or between select partners in this pilot program.
This pilot includes 13 resorts across the Rockies, the Pacific Northwest, Western Canada, and the Alps, including Big White, Brundage, and Tamarack, plus five resorts in the European Alps with more than 300 lifts between them.
That means you can plan a five-day ski trip to Big White all on your Indy Pass, or visit Idaho to use 4 days at Brundage and 3 at Tamarack, and still have 2 days at 300+ more resorts up for grabs. The Indy Pass is meant to get people on snow at places they otherwise wouldn't go.
As a kid who grew up skiing at a small East Coast hill, I know how transformative a ski trip to a big mountain can be. My parents saved most of their disposable income to make sure we could take a family ski trip to a big mountain out West every few seasons. They always told our school, “We will never look back and say we should have taken fewer family ski trips". They were right.
We have been working on building a solution at Indy Pass that opens up big mountains and trips; one that does not require a mega pass or a $300 lift ticket. The Destination Upgrade will be priced starting at $199 for adults, and $129 for kids at launch and is only available as an add-on to current passholders. You must purchase it and assign the product to a valid Indy Pass guest in the E-store.
If you don't yet have an Indy Pass, please make sure you are on the waitlist. We are announcing at least 10 more resorts for this season, next week. It will be newsworthy.
We all have a role to play in keeping skiing and riding Independent.
