The 2026-2027 Ikon Pass is on sale and you can save up to $65 through Undercover Tourist. Ikon Pass sales always start in spring and end as the ski season kicks off. The bonus to buying early in spring is that you can use them to ski in the 2026 spring and summer season, too! Undercover Tourist sells the Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass (for less!) until we sell out. But you have to sign in to your account in order to see the passes and discounts. We sell Ikon Pass sales in summer and fall until the pass sells out in early December. But the price creeps up in September, October and November, so you'll get the best price the earlier you buy. Prices last went up in April. You can use the Ikon Pass across 50 worldwide destinations!
We have some hoppin' news! More destinations joined Ikon Pass this past season. There are nine new Asian destinations and more access in Italy. Solitude became unlimited as of last year. You can always check the Ikon Pass app or site for the latest updates about destination access. A few destinations are not returning to the Ikon Base Pass so be sure to look over the included mountains carefully to make sure the ones you plan to visit are included. Note which ones need reservations.
You can get a discount on your 2026-2027 Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass through Undercover Tourist. Just log in to the site to see the discount prices (which may go up as the season approaches). If you do not already have an account, you can set one up.
One toadally cool detail about purchasing the Ikon Pass in spring is that you can use it to ski at select destinations in the current spring. We love spring skiing, filled with blue skies and warmer temperatures. To experience spring skiing in 2026, stop by the ticket window, or the Ikon season pass office to have the pass for next year printed. That way, you can use it until the end of the spring season. Then, the following fall, you will receive your 2026-2027 Ikon Pass in the mail. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
There’s a lot to go over. We will walk you through the Ikon Pass levels, benefits and resorts that accept the pass. Additionally, we’ll talk about advance reservations and what they entail.

Advance Lift Ticket Reservations
Some ski resorts require all Ikon Pass holders to make an Advance Lift Ticket Reservation before arriving at the mountain. To provide priority access to Ikon Pass holders, many destinations regulate the number of day tickets sold to limit capacity at the mountain and avoid overcrowding. Access to Ikon Pass destinations will vary. The reservations page provides an "R" next to each resort that requires reservations.
For 2026-2027, you need to make advance reservations at:
- Deer Valley
- The Summit at Snoqualmie
- Loon Mountain
- Jackson Hole
New! No reservations needed in 2026-2027 for Aspen Snowmass.
Dates you can begin reserving vary by resort. An Ikon Pass or Ikon Base Pass user may make up to 10 reservations at a time at each unlimited destination, based on availability. Multiple reservations can be made for people using the same account. An unused reservation may be canceled up to 11 a.m. MT on the same day of the scheduled reservation. Repeat "no shows" result in a 30-day pass deactivation. Friends and Family do not need a separate reservation and may arrive with the Ikon Pass holder at their reservation time.
Parking Reservations
While there are many ski destinations that don't require a lift ticket reservation, many do require a parking reservation on weekends and holidays. Some sell out a month in advance! Do your research and reserve your parking early. They are usually refundable if you cancel in advance or by 6 a.m. the day of the reservation.
Which Ikon Pass is right for you? Whichever one you choose, be sure to purchase your discount Ikon Pass before the next ski season begins. That way, you can save money before these deals melt away. If you need lodging, get a hoppin' deal on hotel rooms or car rentals in destinations such as Aspen Snowmass, Park City and Lake Tahoe through Undercover Tourist. In fact, be sure to bundle your purchases with a rental car to unlock larger discounts! And be sure to sign in at Undercover Tourist to see the Ikon Pass exclusive savings.
Keep hopping!
