New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Maine get new Indy resorts to kick off the 22/23 season
The Indy Pass has added Peek’n Peak Resort in Western New York, Tussey Mountain in Pennsylvania, Catamount Outdoor Family Center in Vermont, and Rangeley Lakes Trail Center in Maine. All of these new resorts will offer unrestricted access for Indy Base Pass holders.
“The Northeast is by far our best region for pass sales, and we are stoked to add these four new resorts. Peek’n Peak will complement our other Western New York resorts, and Tussey Mountain is a great fit with our growing presence in Pennsylvania. Adding two more cross-country resorts in Vermont and Maine brings us to a total of twenty, including eight in New England, to kick off our inaugural Nordic season.”
– Indy Pass founder Doug Fish
