Indy Pass Hits 250+ Resort Mark, Adds Learn-to-Turn Pass
Today, the independent ski collective announced it will return to public sale on August 28 at noon Eastern Time, while supplies last. This year’s Indy Pass will feature dozens of new resorts across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Japan, pushing the network beyond 250 destinations, the largest in the world.
Those already on the waitlist will get early access before the general public. When the 2025–26 pass first went on sale in March, it sold out in 10 days. Clearly, demand for affordable turns and global travel is at an all time high.
The Learn-to-Turn Pass: Skiing’s Cheapest On-Ramp
This season is perfect for introducing new skiers. Now, Indy is offering a new Learn-to-Turn Pass designed specifically for first-time skiers and riders. For $189, beginners will get:
- Three total days of lift access
- Rental equipment
- Professional instruction
Every current pass holder will also receive two referral codes that knock the price down to just $149, arguably the lowest-cost entry point to skiing and riding anywhere. Purchasers can spread payments into four installments of under $38 using Indy’s No Bank, No Interest plan.
Doug Fish, Indy Pass Founder, said: “Everyone in skiing is searching for the holy grail of skier development. Indy Pass will attempt to move the needle by keeping it cheap, simple, and widely accessible.”
New Resorts, Less Crowds
While Indy has yet to release the full lineup of new partners, the 2025–26 additions will include mountains in Austria, France, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Scotland, and Japan, alongside an expanded U.S. and Canadian roster. That push will help the Indy Pass exceed its 250 Resort Guarantee announced last spring.

Pass capacity will again be capped to avoid overcrowding, a strategy that separates Indy from mega-passes often plagued by long lift lines and packed parking lots.
Indy Pass
For the second season in a row, the Indy Pass continues to position itself as a disruptive force in skiing. And that's good news for skiers. The pass provides access to hundreds of independent ski areas around the world at a lower entry point.
