The biggest changes to the Ikon Pass for 2026-2027:
- Arapahoe Basin is unlimited on the Base Pass, with no blackouts. Alterra bought A-Basin in 2024 and made it unlimited on the full Ikon last season. Now Base Pass holders get it too.
- Snowmass is back on the Base Pass for the first time in six years: five days, Snowmass only, with holiday blackouts. Full Ikon holders still get seven days across all four Aspen Snowmass mountains.
- Three new Midwest resorts: Granite Peak (Wisconsin), Lutsen (Minnesota) and Snowriver (Michigan), seven days each on the full Ikon and five on Base.
- Windham left the Ikon Pass after 2024-25, the first resort ever to drop it.
- The Base Plus Pass is gone. It was discontinued after 2024-25, so Jackson Hole, Deer Valley, Snowbasin, Sun Valley and Alta are only on the full Ikon Pass.
- Refunds now cost extra. The free Adventure Assurance was replaced by an optional paid "Refundable" add-on.
- Reservations are required at Jackson Hole, Deer Valley and Loon. Aspen Snowmass dropped its reservation requirement.
- Deer Valley gets bigger again. Its expansion reaches about 4,500 acres, with the new Hail Peak Express opening this winter. Opening day is targeted for Dec. 5, 2026.
- New Squad Pack: buy five Base Passes for skiers ages 23-28 and they're $750 each.
