    Ikon Pass Expands Canadian Offerings with Le Massif de Charlevoix

    Ikon Pass has announced a significant addition to its roster of ski resorts for the 2025-26 season. Le Massif de Charlevoix in Quebec will join the Ikon Pass community, expanding the pass's Canadian presence to nine premier destinations. This addition comes as Ikon Pass reminds skiers and riders that April 17, 2025, marks the final day to purchase passes at the lowest spring prices before rates increase.

    Le Massif de Charlevoix brings a unique flavour to the Ikon Pass lineup. Located between the Laurentian Range and the Saint Lawrence River, it boasts the steepest slopes east of the Canadian Rockies. With 53 trails and glades, and an impressive average annual snowfall of 254 inches, Le Massif caters to skiers and riders of all abilities.

    Le Massif Instagram Post

    Erik Forsell, Chief Marketing Officer of Alterra Mountain Company, highlighted the significance of this addition: "Canada offers some of the best mountain experiences in the world. The special culture of Quebec adds to the uniqueness of any visit, putting Le Massif de Charlevoix and Tremblant at the top of every Ikon Pass holder's must-visit list."

    Ikon Pass holders will enjoy seven days of access to Le Massif de Charlevoix without blackout dates, while Ikon Base Pass holders receive five days with select blackouts. The resort is also available on the Ikon Session Pass.

    Charles-Antoine Choquette, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Groupe Le Massif, expressed enthusiasm about joining the Ikon Pass community: "Le Massif de Charlevoix is thrilled to welcome Ikon Pass holders to explore Eastern Quebec, the rich culture of the Charlevoix region, our exceptional terrain, and the stunning views of the St. Lawrence River. Skiers and riders from around the world visit Le Massif de Charlevoix for a unique and unforgettable experience."

    New Ikon Pass purchasers can take advantage of immediate spring skiing access at select mountains. Additionally, Ikon Base Pass holders can now upgrade for an extra week of spring skiing at participating resorts.

    The Ikon Pass continues to offer exclusive member benefits, including Ikon Pass First Tracks, Ikon Pass Travel, a Protect Our Winters membership, and Peak Perks with discounts on popular brands like The North Face, Blenders, and WHITESPACE.

    With the addition of Le Massif de Charlevoix, Ikon Pass now provides access to 62 global destinations, further cementing its position as a leading multi-resort pass in the ski industry. As the April 17 deadline for spring pricing approaches, skiers and riders are encouraged to secure their passes for the upcoming season to take advantage of the best rates and expanded resort offerings.

    Two Confirmed Dead as Search Continues After Swiss Alps Fire

    Two Confirmed Dead as Search Continues After Swiss Alps Fire

    The death toll from Thursday night's fire at Restaurant Beverin in Thusis, Switzerland, has begun to firm up. One Swiss outlet, citing Graubünden Cantonal Police, reports that two of the five people initially reported missing have now been confirmed dead, leaving three unaccounted for. The building's collapsed stairwell and structural instability have slowed recovery efforts throughout. Here's what's changed since the fire broke out, and what's still unconfirmed.

    Selwyn Snow Resort Closes Early as Rain Ends Its 2026 Season

    Selwyn Snow Resort Closes Early as Rain Ends Its 2026 Season

    Selwyn Snow Resort has called an early end to its 2026 season, a day after Victoria's Mount Baw Baw did the same. Rain on Thursday stripped what was left of the snowpack, and the cold nights needed to rebuild it through snowmaking never arrived. It's a rough result for a resort that only just found its footing again after being burned to the ground in the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires and a multi-year rebuild. Here's how the season fell apart, and where Selwyn's been since the fire.

    Mt Baw Baw Becomes First Australian Resort to Close for 2026

    Mt Baw Baw Becomes First Australian Resort to Close for 2026

    Mt Baw Baw is calling time on its 2026 season this Sunday at 5pm, becoming the first Australian resort to close for the year after warm spells and rain wore through its snowpack. Lifts stop, but the resort stays open, entry fees get waived, and there's one last Bollywood Weekend before the lights go out. Fifty-seven days after opening, here's how the season ended and what it means for the rest of Australia's struggling snowpack.

    Arosa to Replace 40-Year-Old Hörnli Lifts With New Gondola and Chair

    Arosa to Replace 40-Year-Old Hörnli Lifts With New Gondola and Chair

    Arosa's Hörnli sector is getting its biggest overhaul in decades. The 1986 gondola and 1994 chairlift linking toward Lenzerheide are both being replaced, with capacity up, tower count down and a new base station lower on the hill. At roughly CHF 67 million, it is the largest single investment Arosa Bergbahnen has ever made - and the target opening has already slipped a year, to December 2028. Here is what is changing, and why the timeline moved.

    Sundance Mountain Resort Is Getting a New High-Speed Quad and More Back Mountain Terrain This Winter

    Sundance Mountain Resort Is Getting a New High-Speed Quad and More Back Mountain Terrain This Winter

    Sundance Mountain Resort's back mountain is finally getting a proper lift. The Electric Horseman Express opens for 2026-27, unlocking a new bowl next to Bishop's Bowl and three expert gladed chutes across roughly 105 fresh acres - on top of the Storyteller ridge run that debuted in preview form last season. It's Sundance's biggest expansion since 1985, and it turns a three-lift slog into a single six-minute ride to Bearclaw Summit.

    Levi and Ruka Confirm October 2 Opening on Farmed Summer Snow

    Levi and Ruka Confirm October 2 Opening on Farmed Summer Snow

    Finland's Levi and Ruka open for the 2026-27 season on October 2, more than seven weeks before most of Europe sees a lift turn. Neither resort is waiting on autumn snowfall - both are skiing on snow buried since last spring, insulated through the Finnish summer and dug back out for opening day. It is not a shortcut. It is a decades-old system now spreading from the Arctic Circle to Idaho, Utah, Vermont and Colorado. Here is how snow farming actually works, and why it is catching on.

    Sölden's Old Einzeiger Chairlift Gets a Second Life in Montafon

    Sölden's Old Einzeiger Chairlift Gets a Second Life in Montafon

    Silvretta Montafon is replacing its ageing Freda chairlift - but not with something new. The resort is having a 1999 four-seater chairlift, retired from Sölden, dismantled, shipped to Vorarlberg and rebuilt with new electronics, cable and clamps. It has to be running before March 2027, when Silvretta Montafon hosts the FIS Snowboard, Freestyle and Freeski World Championships - the biggest winter sports event Vorarlberg has staged. Here's how a reused lift ends up cheaper.

    Nassfeld Invests €13 Million in New 6-Seater Chairlift for 2026/27 Season

    Nassfeld is putting €13 million into a new 6-seater chairlift, the Tressdorfer Almbahn, connecting Sonnleitn with the Tressdorfer Alm from December 2026. It replaces three ageing drag lifts and will run through summer too, from June 2027, moving up to 2,500 people an hour on the roughly three-minute ride. It's the latest step in Carinthia's largest ski resort building out a genuine year-round offering, following last year's Gartnerkofelbahn gondola.
