Indy Ski Pass

[IceEidolon]

Which ski areas dropped off? So far I know of Montage PA, Sunrise AZ, Buck Hill MN (replaced with Hyland), Swiss Valley (not sure if it was on last year). Was Whitecap WI on there last year, maybe as Allied. Looks like Paul Bunyon might gone as Allied, it shows on the map but not the list.

Swiss Valley was Indy last year, the Perfect North sale has it moving to the Perfect pass.

This probably won't affect anyone on here, though, unless you're a completionist or happen to have family or business right by Swiss.

Ahh, I forgot about that, thanks. Swiss was nice when I was there, lodge looked a bit dated and could use some paint here and there. I bet they'll spiffy it up a bit.

Yeah, I was probably born with the completionist gene. I guess there's worse things to be.

Indy FB post today teasing "More new resorts being announced soon."

Aside from Smuggs, MRG, or Gunstock I’m not sure how it can be improved in the east at this point. Gunstock isn’t happening, and I wonder if MRG even wants additional skiers. I do wonder about Smuggs. More remote than the rest, I’d think they could use a boost. It’s impressive how well they do considering old lifts and location.

Oh???? Do tell

nyski3 or plattekill would be great. there's a catskill gap in the offerings.

i havent been to smuggs in a few years, and i love it, but the madonna line can get pretty annoying especially with the small loading area at the bottom of a steep hill. not sure how much more capacity they'd wanna take on a weekend. i could see them being restricted like cannon.

From the low-key teaser, I'm guessing it's nothing that big. A few more small resorts in Japan or Sweden maybe. I'd love to see them add Shymbulak in Kazakhstan, as I'm planning a visit in February.
NY3 isn't happening. Whiteface signed with Mountain Collective. I suppose Gore or the Belle could join individually though. For most of the population centers skiing the Cats, the Berkshires resorts are similar driving distance.

My mistake, I have a blind spot with NY, which I’ve never skied. Someday I hope to remedy that.

3 Bs + Wawa: Bretton Woods, Bromley, Butternut, Wachusett

Bromley wouldn't be on Ikon and Indy at the same time.

Had to look this up … Bromley seems to have a weird one-way partnership with IKON where Bromley Unlimited Passholders have the opportunity to purchase a discounted 3-day IKON session pass for $199, but IKON passholders have zero access to Bromley, even though IKON passholders now get two days of access at the other two Fairbanks resorts Cranmore and Jiminy Peak.

Adding another Connecticut resort would really had value. Right now there is just Mohawk. Ski Sundown & Powder Ridge are not linked with anyone else. Both would be excellent additions and could make Indy a super CT pass. Also Bromley would be a good add because with nearby Magic it would make for an easy 4 day trip.

Huh that's strange, I figured Bromley was included in the Ikon as the other two properties are.

Not sure if that gives Indy any more of a chance but either way that's a weird setup.

 

[deadheadskier]

Smuggs seems like the one Indy would want most for the East. It would really help Indy compete against iKon and Epic for the local Burlington market.

 

[Internet Ski Pro]

im still curious as to why Montage left Indy.

Smuggs seems the one that could benefit from some publicity and extra skiers. And seems to fit with the Indy resort mix.
Of course I’m the only bad guy on MP that would love to see a link to Stowe…..

Hmmm I wonder how much of a shit storm this will bring. Went to register my plate and I see there’s a notice effective today September 15 that the license plate club is closed. I have two email correspondences from Indy pass in July. The first asking if my plate name works, “yes it does” And the second saying I requested these two plates, “Great send on photos when you get them”

By chance one plate arrived today, but I have the registration for both from the state. There was a snafu with the second so still waiting on the physical plate.

Just sent an email to Indy with attached photographs of the plate and registrations. I know contract law is a huge branch unto itself and know that I am no lawyer. I also have found what I sometimes think should be the common sense application of the law doesn’t hold. Still it seems there was never a notice that the offer had a limited number. I have correspondence acknowledging my having paid for the plates with the statement that once photos are sent I will receive their end of the contract.

You could see this coming and my stupid state was super slow due to a new plate just being rolled out. I think if they had said at some point, ok this is limited to x number of passes they might have a leg to stand on. That was never said. Of course the ski bum has found a haven in Indypass and who knows how many plates have come in and how many people are waiting for their plate to arrive. Sporting a vanity plate you paid for with the expectation you would receive a pass for, but then not getting it is going to set some folks off.

For those (like me) who have no idea what Cat is talking about:

License Plate Club

In the summer of 2025, we announced the start of a new program called the "License Plate Club", awarding anyone with an active custom "Indy Pass" plate with a free 25/26 Indy Pass for the duration of their active plate registration.

this post doesnt say what indy said when you contacted them? i take that to mean they have not opined yet.

you have prior correspondence of them encouraging you to get a damn vanity license plate. would be shocked if you do not get your pass.

but for this dumb ass promo they probably should have a pre-registration form and a confirmation that you're in pending the plates. fpr them to just be like SEND US YOUR PLATE PICS is pretty silly.

on the subject of license plate - omg i cannot wait to reside in new york again and trade piss yellow for golden yellow.
