What Exactly is an Ikon Pass in Colorado?

Good question. According to the Ikon Pass official Facebook page:

The Ikon Pass is the new standard in season passes, connecting the most iconic mountains across the planet and delivering authentic, memorable snow adventures.

The Ikon Pass grants access to a wide variety of ski locations. It's your passport to great mountains in California like Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, Mammoth Mountain, and Big Bear Mountain. In Vermont, it unlocks access to Stratton and Killington. In Utah, it's your gateway to Snowbird and Deer Valley Resort.

How Does Colorado's Ikon Pass Work?

The Ikon Pass is offered by Alterra Mountain Company, an American hospitality company with headquarters in Denver, Colorado. According to Wikipedia, the company is privately owned by KSL Capital Partners and Henry Crown and Company, the owners of Aspen/Snowmass in Colorado. Put simply, it is a conglomerate of a number of ski resorts offering a combined season pass.

There are a variety of passes to choose from, including the Ikon Pass, Ikon Base Pass, and Ikon Session Pass 4-Day. As of today, February 9, 2022, the Ikon Pass official website states all three are no longer available for purchase for the 2021/2022 season. Don't worry, though. There's always the 2022/2023 season.
