Indy Pass Adds 2 Popular Resorts in California | Now Offers 106 Resorts Worldwide

The co-owned resorts bring Indy Pass to five mountains in the Golden State and 16 on the West Coast

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.

“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. The Indy Pass now has more West Coast U.S. resorts than ALL other passes combined.”

– Indy Pass founder Doug Fish

Dodge Ridge, Pinecrest, California

The closest ski resort to the Bay Area, Dodge Ridge is known for its consistent snowpack, family-friendly atmosphere, uncrowded slopes, and some of the best glade skiing in the Sierras. Their new Triple Nugget chairlift will increase access to beginner and intermediate terrain for the upcoming season.
