Multi-resort season passes are becoming more and more mainstream. For many skiers and riders, the days of only buying a season pass that limits you to just your local mountain are gone. The majority of season pass buyers now have access to a plateful of resorts either through a multi-resort pass or reciprocal agreements.
The number of multi-resort passes is abundant. Of course, there are the behemoths of Epic Pass and Ikon Pass. The next tier brings you Mountain Collective, Indy Pass, and the Powder Alliance.
But there are other lesser-known passes that deserve some attention.ย For the right person, we think these multi-resort passes are worth consideration.
