    New Resort Additions and Access Changes

    Ischgl, located on the Austria-Switzerland border, joins the Ikon Pass as its seventh European destination. This addition gives skiers and riders access to 1,273 acres of terrain across both countries, featuring deep powder, open bowls and long descents at Val Gronda.

    In Colorado, Arapahoe Basin will now offer unlimited access with no blackout dates for Ikon Pass holders, while Ikon Base Pass holders maintain their 5-day access, also without blackouts.

    Spring 2025 Access for New Pass Purchasers

    One of the most appealing benefits for new pass holders is immediate spring skiing access at multiple resorts after purchasing a 2025/2026 pass.

    Starting March 13, 2025, new Ikon Pass holders receive unlimited spring skiing at nine destinations including Big Bear Mountain Resort, Snow Valley, Solitude, Snowshoe, Stratton, Sugarbush, Schweitzer, Crystal Mountain, and Blue Mountain, Canada.

    From March 31, access expands to include Arapahoe Basin, Winter Park, Steamboat, Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain, Palisades Tahoe, Tremblant, and Deer Valley (with no reservations required).

    Ikon Base Pass holders receive similar but more limited spring benefits, with access to fewer resorts and later start dates for some locations.

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    Val Gardena to Alpe di Siusi Lift Link Back in Play After Court Ruling

    The Val Gardena-Alpe di Siusi lift link isn’t dead after all. A South Tyrol court has overturned Santa Cristina’s rejection of the new Monte Pana-Saltria link on procedural grounds, after the council skipped required public information sessions. Opponents want the missing sessions held and a fresh vote, and nothing has been approved. For now it’s still a bus between the two, but a plan first floated in 2017 is back in the conversation.

    Utah Snow Storm Builds Early-Season Base Ahead of November Openings

    Rain down low, snow up high, and a snow report full of zeros that mostly means ‘not updated yet’. Utah’s first proper storm of 2026-27 is rolling through the Wasatch, Snowbird’s snow stake is closing in on 10 inches, and Brian Head is five days from opening day. Early November snow rarely looks like much, but it is the layer every November opening date is built on. Here is where it stands.
