After experiencing record sales, new passes will be taken off sale to preserve the experience for guests and partner resorts.

The Indy Pass announced yesterday that pass sales for the 23/24 season will end on Monday, April 10, at midnight. A limited number of passes may be released this fall after evaluating capacity with resort partners for the upcoming season.

In prior years, Indy Passes have sold through mid-winter. However, record 22/23 pass sales,  23/24 renewals, and unprecedented new passholders for the upcoming season have made this cutoff necessary.

“To preserve the independent and uncrowded skiing experience we all know and love, we are pumping the brakes on pass sales. During the off-season, we will work with our partner resorts to assess their peak-day capacity while we strive to expand our overall capacity by signing new resorts.”

– Doug Fish, Founder

Mt. Hood Meadows and Mt. Ashland Renew for 23/24

Mt. Hood Meadows and Mt. Ashland, both in Oregon, will join 102 resorts that are returning for the 23/24 season.

“We had a great first season on the Indy Pass, continue to see strong visitation, and look forward to welcoming even more passholders from across the US next season.”

– Dave Tragethon, Mt Hood Meadows marketing director

Returning Cross-country and Allied Resort partners will be announced in May.

Payment Plan – Adult Pass As Low As $46 per Month

Pass buyers can pay for their passes in up to eight installments with no interest, meaning an adult base pass would cost less than $46 per month. Buyers should note that the payment plan is underwritten and delivered by Indy Pass, meaning there are no outside approvals, credit checks, and bankers like some mega passes.

No More Service Charge – Commemorative RFID Passes to be Issued

The 3% service fee typically charged on all Indy Passes at checkout will be eliminated for the 23/24 season. In exchange, all pass holders will be mailed a custom-designed 23/24 commemorative, RFID-enabled Indy Pass with a photo for a $10 fee. The physical Indy Pass will include benefits such as direct-to-lift access at select Indy resorts, expedited lift ticket pick-up at all Indy resorts, and discounts on products and services from Indy Pass partners.
