Orange is nordic. Black is allied. Other colors are regions.

Biggest pick up is Big White as far as I can tell. Was hoping for a couple more Alaska places. Other of interest, Montana Snowbowl, Baldy not too far from Big White. Lots of nordic and smaller places. I have't been to Big Bear Mashthope, so will hit that for sure.

Who knows what the truth is-I’m just conjecturing. As someone stated, Ski Arlberg is an Epic partner, so I’d be surprised if it was full access.

It could be also be SkiWelt. It is larger than Ski Arlberg by some measures (number of lifts, for example).
2nd guess was right!

Interesting

Whaleback is the only Green marker in New England. Dartmouth now yellow like the rest of full Indy. Looks like Allied are black.
I think that's gotta be an error, should probably be yellow.

Looks like I picked wrong last year when I went to Maple over Royal. Could have been free this year, Skaneateles too. Cooper Spur is owned by Hood Meadows, not surprised to see that. Only problem is the on redemption per day rule.

Ski Big Bear...lol. I'm really surprised to see them join this. Unless something has changed recently, they were always plenty crowded as is on weekends. And they have a guaranteed revenue stream as their operations are funded by membership dues in the community (Masthope). Beyond a certain threshold the profits are shared between the community and the management company of the mountain (and they've exceeded that threshold for years).

What a letdown. One European resort and nothing new in New England from what I can tell on the map.

Couple other errors on the map. I assume they'll be fixed at some point. Like Loup Loup and Manning alpine is missing.

Dartmouth added to Indy, bumping up from allied, Whaleback was not and does not appear to be allied any longer. Dartmouth is the only alpine addition to the Indy on the East, unless you count Maple Ski Ridge or Big Bear (PA).

That is a no brainer change to make on the Skiway's end, regardless of the furor here about how Indy is now somehow the devil.

That said, the vast majority of these are nordic, and includes at least one hot spring in BC, which seems like an odd addition. Maybe they have a nordic component? Ultimately, I don't think these additions sway a purchase decision.

Jay is also suspiciously missing from the blackout day listings, so I'm guessing that is TBD.

Interesting, because Whaleback is not included on this list elsewhere on their site.

The hot spring resort has a downhill ski area with a triple chair. Not far from Ikon Pass/MCP partner Panorama.
