Looking ahead to winter 20/21, Ikon Pass continues to expand access across North America with the addition of Mt. Bachelor in Oregon and Windham Mountain in New York for the 2020/2021 season. Ikon Pass holders can take advantage of 43 destinations. The Ikon Pass is on sale now at ikonpass.com.
“As we look ahead, we are excited to announce these new partners that represent the spirit of the Ikon Pass community, bringing added value to pass holders, at some of the lowest rates available since we launched the Ikon Pass,” said Erik Forsell, Chief Marketing Officer, Alterra Mountain Company. “Mt. Bachelor in Oregon and Windham Mountain in New York are favorites in their regions, adding expanded access in two new states in North America and inspiring Ikon Pass holders to seek more adventures.”
Ikon Pass holders will have access to seven days each at Mt. Bachelor and Windham Mountain with no blackout dates, and Ikon Base Pass holders will have access to five days each, with select blackout dates. There is no access to Mt. Bachelor and Windham Mountain on the Ikon Session Pass 4-Day.
Holding court in the High Cascades of the Northwest, Mt. Bachelor offers 4,323 acres of terrain and 360-degree descents from a 9,065’ volcanic peak, plus 15 Woodward terrain parks, snowshoeing adventures, tubing and more. This Pacific Northwest powerhouse is an ideal choice for families and adventure seekers.
“Mt. Bachelor is thrilled to partner with the Ikon Pass and join its growing community of like-minded winter enthusiasts,” says John McLeod, Mt. Bachelor President and General Manager. “Outdoor enthusiasts can experience the exhilaration of nature among some of Oregon’s most unique landscapes at Mt. Bachelor. It is a one-of-a-kind adventure for every fan of the outdoors, and an ideal fit for the Ikon Pass.”
Just two and a half hours north of New York City, Windham Mountain is the playground of the Catskills and a favorite regional destination, offering adventure, fresh air, and winter fun close to the city. Windham Mountain boasts 54 trails, 11 lifts, six terrain parks, an award-winning snowsports school, and Sunset Skiing on select nights of the season.
“Windham Mountain is excited to become a member of the Ikon Pass community. The premier collection of mountains paired with unparalleled pass value is an ideal match with Windham Mountain’s commitment to an ‘above and beyond’ experience for our guests,” said Chip Seamans, Windham Mountain President and General Manager. “Our location, just over two hours from New York City, makes Windham Mountain an attractive addition to an already-powerful lineup.”
