Changes to Ikon Pass Member Resorts

Windham Mountain Club in the Catskills, two hours north of New York City, is leaving the Ikon Pass at the end of this season, as its new owners prioritize the private club aspect of the mountain over public access.

Ikon Pass holders will be able to use their passes at Windham for the remainder of the current season.

Also in the Northeast, Jiminy Peak (Mass.) and Cranmore (NH) in the Northeast and Wild Mountain and Buck Hill in Minnesota have joined as “bonus” mountains, offering two days each.

Also new is Ischgl, a resort in Austria that borders Switzerland, the seventh Ikon Pass destination in Europe. Ski or ride 1,273 acres across Austria and Switzerland and experience joie de vivre in this Tyrolean alpine town.

Ischgl is one of Europe’s most dynamic ski destinations, where Austria meets Switzerland for a seamless cross-border experience. For deep powder and big mountain lines, head to Val Gronda where a giant cable car brings guests into an untouched backcountry zone, where skiers and riders can drop in on open bowls and long descents.

Known for its long season with snow from November to May, a modern lift system, and legendary après-ski, Ischgl delivers the ideal mix of sport, lifestyle, and entertainment, capped off by its Top of the Mountain concerts, featuring global music icons.

For the 25/26 season, Arapahoe Basin in Colorado will now have unlimited access with no blackouts on Ikon Pass. Ikon Base Pass will remain at 5-day access, also with no blackouts.
