    SilverStar Mountain Joins the Ikon Pass — Spring Pricing Ends April 16

    If you've been sitting on the fence about buying your 2026-27 Ikon Pass, here's your nudge. SilverStar Mountain in British Columbia has just been added to the Ikon Pass lineup, and spring pricing is available until April 16. After that, prices go up.

    What is SilverStar Mountain?

    SilverStar is one of British Columbia's larger ski resorts, sitting in the Okanagan Valley. It's not one of those resorts that gets talked about constantly, but it's a solid mountain with real credentials — 3,304 acres of terrain, 133 runs, and 2,460 feet (760 metres) of vertical drop. The mountain runs on 100% natural snowfall, has a ski-in, ski-out village, and a layout that works well for both progression and laps.

    The terrain mix is decent. You've got well-groomed frontside runs that are good for building confidence and knocking out high-mileage days, then the backside steps things up with steeper chutes and double-black runs when you're ready for it. For context, the total skiable area is significantly larger than anything you'll find at Australian resorts like Falls Creek or Thredbo, so there's genuine room to explore across multiple days.

    What Ikon Pass Access Do You Get at SilverStar?

    For 2026-27, the access breakdown at SilverStar is:

    • Ikon Pass — 7 days, no blackout dates
    • Ikon Base Pass — 5 days, with select blackout dates
    • Ikon Session Pass — also included

    SilverStar joins a solid Canadian roster on the Ikon Pass that already includes Revelstoke, SkiBig3, Cypress Mountain, RED Mountain, Panorama, and Sun Peaks Resort. That's a reasonable chunk of BC and Alberta covered under one pass.

    What Does the 2026-27 Ikon Pass Cost?

    Spring pricing is still in effect, but it closes on April 16. Current pricing in USD:

    • Ikon Pass — from $1,349 USD ($1,819 CAD)
    • Ikon Base Pass — from $924 USD ($1,249 CAD)
    • Ikon Session Pass — from $299 USD ($399 CAD)

    New pass holders who buy now can also access free immediate spring skiing at up to 13 mountains, which is a reasonable sweetener if you're planning any late-season trips.

    How Big is the Ikon Pass Network for 2026-27?

    The 2026-27 Ikon Pass covers 77 destinations across 13 countries and 5 continents, with a total of 290,085 acres, 8,645 trails, and 2,117 lifts. It's a big network, and for Australian skiers planning trips to North America, Europe, or Japan, it covers a lot of ground under one purchase.

    Passes are on sale now at ikonpass.com.

    Spain Moves to Ban Smoking at Ski Resorts Under New Tobacco Law

    Spain Moves to Ban Smoking at Ski Resorts Under New Tobacco Law

    Spain's government has approved a draft tobacco law that would ban smoking across a wide range of outdoor spaces, including sports venues - a category Spanish winter sports media expect to cover ski resorts, potentially extending to slopes and lifts themselves. The rules would also apply to e-cigarettes and vaping devices, even nicotine-free ones. The bill still has to clear the Spanish parliament before any ban, signage, or fines can take effect.

    South Tyrol Approves New 16-Person Ciampinoi Gondola in Val Gardena

    South Tyrol Approves New 16-Person Ciampinoi Gondola in Val Gardena

    South Tyrol has approved a full rebuild of the Ciampinoi cable car in Selva di Val Gardena, replacing the current 12-person gondola with a 16-person cabin and a new mountain-station restaurant. Capacity is capped at 3,200 people an hour rather than the 3,600 the operator wanted, and 250,000 euros must go toward compensatory measures. No construction or opening date has been set, though the upgrade is partly aimed at clearing bottlenecks before the 2031 Alpine Ski World Championships.

    Hoshino Tomamu is the ski resort equivalent of a conference hotel that happens to have excellent powder. Built for corporate retreats and package tourists, it offers genuine Hokkaido snow on surprisingly limited terrain - 29 runs spread across 585 vertical metres.

    La Thuile's New Cable Car Replaces Two Ageing Chairlifts

    La Thuile is spending 38.7 million US dollars on a new 10-person cable car linking Les Suches to Chaz Dura, replacing the La Combe and Chaz Dura chairlifts after nearly forty years of service. Built by Leitner, the new cable car runs 1,950 metres to a top station at 2,576 metres, carrying up to 3,000 people an hour with a six-minute ride. It also improves the connection to La Rosiere in France via the Petit-Saint-Bernard Pass, and is on track to open for the 2026/27 season.

    The Remarkables Adds Scarpa Bowl to Its Inbounds Terrain

    The Remarkables Adds Scarpa Bowl to Its Inbounds Terrain

    The Remarkables is adding new inbounds terrain for winter, bringing the Scarpa Bowl - known locally as the Toilet Bowl - into its lift-accessed network after years as backcountry-only ground. The roughly 500 metre run is reached by bootpacking from the top of the Sugar Bowl chairlift, with a shuttle picking skiers up from the road at the bottom. It's a smaller, faster addition than the resort's planned Doolans expansion, though the new terrain hasn't opened yet due to a lack of snow this season.

    Ski Portillo Cut Off After Storm Dumps More Than 4.5 Metres of Snow

    Ski Portillo Cut Off After Storm Dumps More Than 4.5 Metres of Snow

    Ski Portillo remains isolated after an extended storm buried the Chilean resort under more than 4.5 metres of snow, with both ground and air access suspended since Tuesday while crews monitor avalanche hazards and worsening weather. Resort officials say further snowfall is expected in the coming days and haven't set a timeline for reopening the mountain road. Once access resumes, the scale of the snowpack could set up a strong season at one of the Southern Hemisphere's most historic ski resorts.

    Lotte Arai receives 22 metres of annual snowfall - exceptional even by Japanese standards - but its corporate ownership model and limited terrain create an unusual cost-benefit equation. Here's what the numbers actually mean on the ground.
