After months of speculation by industry folk and consumers alike, the Ikon Pass details have been revealed by the Alterra Mountain Company.
Details about the pass options were released along with the news that Banff’s SkiBig3 (Sunshine, Lake Louise, and Mt. Norquay), Revelstoke, B.C., and Sugarbush, Vt., have all been added as partners on the pass, bringing the total access to 25 “destinations,” not including CMH Heli-Skiing and Summer Adventures.
The “destination” designation follows a similar model taken by the Mountain Collective, where nearby resorts—Alta and Snowbird in Utah, for instance—are considered one destination.
“We continue to curate like-minded partners for the Ikon Pass,” said Erik Forsell, chief marketing officer of Alterra Mountain Company. “The addition of SkiBig3, Revelstoke Mountain Resort and Sugarbush Resort brings tremendous value to the Ikon Pass, and expands access in Canada and the East Coast.”
