What might have already been the best value for money pass available has just got EVEN better. Organizers of the Indy Pass today announced that since launching in August ten new resorts have joined the coalition of independent resorts.
Pass holders now receive two days at 44 resorts – 88 days of skiing – for just $199. The pass now offers more resorts in North America than any other multi-mountain pass.
New resorts include:
- Sunrise Park, AZ
- Mohawk Mountain, CT
- Caberfae Peaks, MI
- Shanty Creek Resort, MI
- Swiss Valley, MI
- Cannonsburg, MI
- Powder Ridge, MN
- Terry Peak, SD
- Shawnee Mountain, PA
- Ober Gatlinburg, TN
Indy Pass resorts are independently owned and provide affordable recreation and welcoming atmospheres for beginners and experts alike. Not only are lift tickets less expensive but lodging, lessons, and rentals are also value priced so families and individuals can enjoy more of their favorite winter sports. Less crowding on the slopes of these authentic and historic hills also makes for more time on the snow and less time in lift lines.
“In this era of corporate consolidation, having 44 resorts sign-on proves there’s demand for a new pass that represents these authentic, family-owned ski areas,” said Doug Fish, president of the Indy Pass. “Not only is the industry embracing the concept but consumers are as well. We’re seeing strong demand from a wide range of demographics like young families and occasional skiers to hardcore riders and retirees who want to explore some new mountains.”
With 14 resorts in the Upper Midwest and nine in the Northeast, skiers and riders in those regions now have an amazing selection of hidden gems to discover. The Pacific Northwest is another region with a high concentration of rugged independents that offer some of the best snow and terrain in North America.
If purchased before October 16th at IndySkiPass.com buyers can make three easy payments of just $66.33 and pay no interest.
