Indy Ski Pass

[machski]

Color me surprised. I was wrong there for sure. I figured since Mt Abram failed to make the math work on Indy, that Big Rock also wouldn't be a good fit. My understanding with Abram is they weren't getting the redemption rate that made sense both for them and Indy. Big Rock will have an even tougher time I would think.

Go figure, now that I have access to Big Rock, I no longer travel up that far for work. Awesome little hill, but can only see myself making that journey again if a work trip is involved.

I wonder if Big Rock skier's will pick up Indy add ons. Would give them Saddleback and some reasons to travel to NH and/or VT at a minimum. Guess we will see if they stick on it more than just this season.

swing n' a miss

the only conceivable visit i could ever imagine would be a stop-over on the forever drive up to the gaspe peninsula and the chiccys

Had to look on a map for this one....damn....and I thought Sugarloaf was far. Good for the Indy though to keep it going.

Black Mountain of Maine added as well as a hill in Wyoming I've never heard of (Meadowlark).

Major west announcement next week apparently.

 

[Smellytele]

Looks like I’ll be hitting BoM this year

 

[Zand]

Also King Pine is now on the 50% off list (as is Cherry Peak in Utah).

1400 vertical and some fun looking glades and right near the rivah. I'm in!

Close to Saddleback too. We skied there two winters ago during our SB trip when they had to close for a day to repair the HSQ. Outside of the super slow chair, BMOM is a little gem when they have natural. Pretty limited when it's snowmaking terrain only. Really cool lodge and bar as well

Meadowlark will come in handy when I do a Red Lodge, SD, WY loop. Covid killed that trip 2 years ago. Slight chance of it this year. Next year is more likely.

based on the indy passholders facebook group, the average Indy pass holder base doesn't have the brain cells to comprehend any slightly complicated pass structure.. truly a wild level of idiocy on display all day every day.

When you wrote this back in May, I didn't want to admit that you were right. What is it about this particular group of Facebookers that they seem so ill informed? Much chatter about the "major" West Coast announcement coming Tuesday: "I bet it's Bachelor" "Maybe Stevens" "Could it be Jackson Hole?"
Is it really that hard to google your favorite mountain and see if it's part of a massive conglomerate before suggesting that it join a pass specifically for mountains that aren't part of such conglomerates?

 

[AdironRider]

Jackson Hole is independently owned.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t wrong for other reasons though.

True, but ownership is the least of the things making JHMR not "Indy". Several Indy resorts have common ownership (B. East/ Catamount, Blacktail/Mission Ridge) The conglomerate in their case being the IKON pass and the hordes of people it brought.

sounds like it might be mount baker.

hints in a new social media post include:
- cascade range
- 400"+ natural
- 1500+ acres
- sasquatch stuff

Intriguing....... Was hoping Tahoe, bur Baker is awesome.

I don't know, I think they would up that 400" if it was Baker. Hood Meadows has over 2000 acres. So I'm thinking Timberline.

 

[Bosco DaSkia]

the hint is sasquatch shit and you guys come up with mount baker and timberline? seriously? sasquatch mountain resort didn't pop into your heads at all? hmmm.

Indy Pass

This is the year to go Indy! Get two days riding at over 50 mountains across Canada and the States. Find out more and join the revolution!

sasquatchmountain.ca

rather disappointing for a place that touts the superior bandwidth and response times of it's 502g superfibre network as well as the state-of-the-art virtual blade server farm with 5000 terabytes of virtual disk space...

I'm assuming you don't realize Sasquatch was already on there last year?

This ones for you....

How about Mt Hood Meadows?

(They create the pages on their site prior to the announcement...they just don't link them from anywhere...but if you start randomly guessing URLs, you might get lucky and "find" the new resort before it is officially "live" on their site)

Mt. Hood Meadows - Indy Pass

Mt. Hood Meadows offers the most challenging and diverse terrain on Mt. Hood. Averaging 430 inches of snow a year, Meadows is located 90 minutes away from Portland in the Mt. Hood National Forest and offers some of the best big mountain terrain and amazing views. A reliable Cascade snowpack...

Wow. Yep. You scooped em. It's a big one too. Fish had said the Mt. Hood resorts were unlikely, but it's happened. Great addition. I'll avoid wider social media sharing until it's official.
