IndyPass is adding 50-plus resorts and resuming pass sales Tuesday morning
Skiers and snowboarders, rejoice! The upcoming 2023-2024 season just got a little more exciting: IndyPass announced that with the addition of more than 50 resorts, the coveted pass will resume sales Tuesday morning.
For those who aren't familiar with it, IndyPass is one of the more affordable passes on the market and works exclusively with independent resorts around the world. Passholders can ski up to 164 days (two days per resort) during the season for less than $400 with the Base Pass option.
With this addition of more than 50 Alpine and Nordic resorts across three continents, the number of participating resorts is now well over 100.
Other perks of the pass? Many of the resorts are grouped geographically, so even if you don't make it out of a certain region, you can still hit quite a few locations. Also, these independently owned operations often see fewer crowds, shorter lines and plenty of opportunity to maximize time on the slopes.

New passes to go on sale for those on the waitlist
There are a few things to keep in mind before skiers and snowboarders get their hopes up, though.
Limited numbers of the pass will only be available to those registered on the waitlist (which has been open since April), according to the brand's press release. The list is likely pretty lengthy at this point.
Those who do get the opportunity to purchase a pass will receive a unique code via email (the emails will go out in batches based on the original waitlist sign-up date). Using the code, you can purchase the pass Tuesday at 11 a.m. EDT.
In terms of pricing, here's what the passes will cost for this special release (slightly different from the original release):
- Indy Adult Base Pass: $399 or two payments of $199.50
- Indy+ Adult Pass: $499 or two payments of $249.50
- Indy Kids Base Pass: $199 or two payments of $99.50
