All of the Details for the 2022/2023 Ikon Pass

by Leap on November 25, 2022 23 Steamboat Springs

Ikon Pass - Adult and child snowboarders The ski season is here as we sip our hot cocoa, dreaming of fresh snow. Ikon Pass sales have ended for the 2022-2023 ski season. If you missed it, you can look forwards to purchasing an Ikon Pass for 2023-2024 starting in spring.  We have frogciting news to share. We sell Ikon Pass sales (and renewals) in spring, summer and fall until the pass sells out about early December.

Passes for 2022-2023 went on sale March 14, 2022. The earlier you buy, the better the price you'll get. Definitely purchase by the end of November before the Ikon Pass sells out. The price goes up Oct. 14, 2022, so you'll really want to purchase before that. If you already own an Ikon Pass, get the renewal to save some green.

One toadally cool detail you might want to know is that if you purchase the 2023-2024 Ikon Pass next spring, you can use it to ski at select destinations in spring 2023. Some are available right away when the pass goes on sale and others after a certain date. We left the 2022 dates as a reference:

  • Big Bear Mountain Resort - immediately
  • Blue Mountain - immediately
  • Snowshoe - immediately
  • Stratton - immediately
  • Sugarbush - immediately
  • Tremblant - April 4, 2022
  • Solitude - April 4, 2022
  • Mammoth Mountain - April 11, 2022
  • Palisades Tahoe - April 11, 2022
  • Winter Park - April 11, 2022

We love spring skiing with the blue skies and warmer temperatures. For spring skiing 2023, just go to the ticket window or season pass office to have the pass from this year (22/23) printed to use until the end of the season. Then in the fall, you will receive the 23/24 pass in the mail.

There’s a lot to go over so let’s hop to it! We will walk you through the Ikon Pass levels, benefits and the resorts that accept the pass. Plus we’ll talk about advance reservations.

There are two new international resorts added in fall 2022.

  • Grandvalira Resorts Andorra (Andorra)
  • Sun Peaks Resort (British Columbia)

Here is what to expect at the Ikon destinations when skiing and snowboarding. Keep hopping back for updates as the next ski season approaches!

During certain months of the year, we sell the Ikon Pass, Ikon Base Pass, Ikon Base Plus Pass and their renewal options. We sell discounted Ikon Pass Renewal tickets, Ikon Base Pass Renewal tickets and Ikon Base Pass Plus Renewal tickets. Here are the deets on all of the Ikon Pass options.

Ikon Pass 2022-2023 Season

The 2022-2023 Season Ikon Pass and Ikon Pass Renewal are good for the entire ski season; however, some resorts have unlimited days of skiing and riding while others limit the pass to seven days of skiing. If you plan to ski holidays, this pass is the one to get because it has no blackout dates.

The 2022-2023 Season Ikon Pass is non-refundable and has several benefits, such as:

  • Spring skiing access in 2022 at select destinations
  • No blackout dates
  • 10 Friends and Family discount tickets (25 percent off window rate, excluding Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley, Zermatt, Dolomiti Superski, and Kitzbühel). The pass holder must be present at Jackson Hole and Taos. Pass holder reservations are required for days of use to redeem the discount at Jackson Hole, Taos and The Summit at Snoqualmie.
  • 15 percent off retail, food and beverage (excluding alcohol and hard goods) at Winter Park Resort, Steamboat, Deer Valley Resort, Palisades Tahoe, Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain, Big Bear Mountain Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Eldora Mountain Resort, Solitude Mountain Resort, Blue Mountain, Crystal Mountain, Sugarbush, Snowshoe, Stratton and Tremblant
  • CMH Heli-Skiing and Summer Adventures — Early Booking Privileges for winter trips and 10 percent off summer trips
  • Adventure Assurance Program

The 2022-2023 Ikon Pass is accepted at the following U.S. and international destinations. Most mountains have unlimited days, but some are limited to seven days (followed by "7"). At some mountains, you can go directly to the lift, but at those marked with an asterisk (*), you’ll need to check in at the ticket office first. Mountains with an "R" mean you’ll need to make a Lift Ticket Reservation before coming to the mountain. New pass holders get spring skiing (marked with an "S").

Ikon Base Pass

The Ikon Base Pass and Ikon Base Pass Renewal have a lot of the benefits of the Season Ikon Pass, but with more limited days (for some locations) and a few blackout dates for select destinations. It covers most of the same resorts as the season Ikon Pass above, except the Ikon Base Pass excludes Jackson Hole, Deer Valley, Alta, Sun Valley, Snowbasin and Aspen Snowmass mountains. If these locations are a deal breaker for you, hop on down to the Ikon Base Plus Pass, which includes them and has all of the otherwise same conditions of this Ikon Base Pass for $200 more (prices subject to change so purchase early). This pass is non-refundable.

Ikon Base Pass Benefits

Ikon Base Pass holders have:

  • CMH Heli-Skiing and Summer Adventures - Early booking privileges for winter trips and 10 percent off summer trips.
  • The pass also gets 10 percent off retail, food and beverage (excluding alcohol and hard goods) at Winter Park Resort, Steamboat, Deer Valley Resort, Palisades Tahoe, Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain, Big Bear Mountain Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Eldora Mountain Resort, Solitude Mountain Resort, Blue Mountain, Crystal Mountain, Sugarbush, Snowshoe, Stratton and Tremblant.
  • Other benefits include eight friends and Family discount tickets (25 percent off window rate), excluding (excludes Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley, Zermatt, Dolomiti Superski, Kitzbühel, Jackson Hole, Aspen Snowmass, Deer Valley Resort, Alta Ski Area, Sun Valley and Snowbasin). The pass holder must be present at Jackson Hole and Taos. Pass holder reservations are required for days of use to redeem the discount at Jackson Hole, Taos and The Summit at Snoqualmie.
  • Spring skiing access in 2022 for select destinations.
  • Adventure Assurance Program

If you do not plan to ski at the excluded destinations, or the limited access to some mountains works for your travel plans, the Ikon Base Pass can save some money over the season Ikon Pass. The following resorts are included on the Ikon Base Pass. Access is unlimited for many resorts, and is limited to five days for others (marked with a "5"). The resorts with blackout dates are followed with a B. For destinations marked with an asterisk (*), you cannot go directly to the lift. You’ll have to check in at the ticket office first. New pass holders have unlimited spring skiing (marked with "S").

Ikon Base Plus Pass

Ikon Pass - Snowboarder riding down mountain

The Ikon Base Plus Pass and the Ikon Base Plus Pass Renewal have all of the same benefits, limitations and blackout dates (for the same destinations) as the Ikon Base Pass, except Ikon Base Pass Plus includes a few extra resorts not covered by the Ikon Base Pass, which is why it costs $200 more. The Ikon Base Plus can be used at 50 destinations with unlimited access to 13 destinations and up to five days at 36 select destinations, including the six mountains not available on the Ikon Base Pass:

  • Jackson Hole, Wyoming - R
  • Aspen Snowmass, Colorado
  • Deer Valley Resort, Utah
  • Alta Ski Area, Utah
  • Sun Valley, Idaho
  • Snowbasin, Utah

These added destinations are all subject to the same (above) blackout dates as the Ikon Base Pass. You must make reservations to use the pass at Jackson Hole. This pass will save you a little compared to the Ikon Pass if you're cool with the blackout periods and having five days at select resorts instead of seven.

Advance Lift Ticket Reservations

Due to COVID-19, some resorts require all Ikon Pass holders to make an Advance Lift Ticket Reservation before arriving at the mountain. In order to provide priority access to Ikon Pass holders, many destinations will temporarily regulate or eliminate a number of day tickets in order to limit capacity at the mountain and avoid overcrowding. Access to Ikon Pass destinations will vary. The reservations page provides links to reservation status as well as opening dates for each resort and whether masks are required indoors and/or outdoors.

For 2022-2023, you will need to make reservations at:

  • Jackson Hole
  • Taos Ski Valley
  • Big Sky Resort
  • The Summit at Snoqualmie
  • Loon Mountain
  • Brighton

Hop back as the 2022-2023 season approaches for an updated list and the date you can start reserving. An Ikon Pass or Ikon Base Pass user may make up to 10 reservations at a time at each unlimited destination, based on availability. An unused reservation may be canceled up to 11 a.m. MT on the same day of a 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 on their reservation.

Adventure Assurance Program

You may notice that the Ikon Pass is non-refundable. However, Adventure Assurance is included with your Ikon Pass to give you peace of mind about buying early. If you are nervous about possible situations that could arise that could make using your pass difficult, hop over to the Adventure Assurance page to learn more. Basically, if you don't use your pass at all (including spring skiing) by Dec. 8, 2022, you can elect to defer it as credit towards an Ikon product for the following season. You can get insurance through SPOT insurance. The Affirm payment plan is only available when purchasing through Ikon directly.

Which Ikon Pass is right for you? Whichever one you choose, be sure to purchase your discount Ikon Pass before the next ski season gets underway to save money before these deals melt away. If you need lodging, look to Undercover Tourist to get a hoppin' deal on hotel rooms or car rentals in destinations such as Aspen Snowmass, Park City and Lake Tahoe. In fact, be sure to add the car rental to your Ikon Pass or hotel purchase to unlock deeper discounts by bundling the purchases together.

Does Crystal mountain open up weekend skiing to Ikon base pass holders in the spring this year (2022/2023)?

Hi Annette!

We're not seeing anything on the website, but there's also not much information online since it's already onto the next season. We'd suggest calling the resort to ask.

You should be able to see add-on options to your pass in your Ikon account. If not, we'd recommend using the chat feature on the Ikon Pass website.

Hi Mike!

By any chance, are you referring to a Deer Valley midweek season pass? If so, it's different from Ikon and that pass is good only at Deer Valley. There is an Ikon Base Pass that is good for five days at select destinations, including Europe, but it is only offered while Ikon is on sale and sales have ended for this season.

Hi Meg!

The Base Pass is sold out for this season, but if you purchased it before it went off sale, the pass is good for up to 5 days each at European locations until they close.

Hi Mommy Frog,

I'm planing to buy Ikon Pass for 22/23 winter season.

Do you know there is a boxing day discount or any other special day offer upcoming?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike!

Typically the best prices are earlier in the season. The prices start low and slowly increase as it gets closer to ski season, so we recommend purchasing sooner than later to lock in the lowest rate.

Hoppy planning!

Any idea what the spring access for new pass holders will be this season? I am hoping to get some late March and April days at Snowshoe and Sugarbush if it mirrors last year’s offering.

BE WARNED! If you buy your Ikon Pass from Undercover Tourist all you get is a print out eTicket. What does that mean? It means instead of getting a sturdy pass that you can go directly to the lifts with, you carry around a piece of paper that may have to be scanned at each lift. Most passes have RFID chips that open turnstiles. In situations like this your Undercover Tourist eTicket printout won't work. For Disney and Universal, UT is great. For Ikon passes their eTicket will turn into a season of hassles.

Hi Michael!

While you receive a confirmation email after your initial order, you should also receive a physical Ikon Pass from us (the same pass that you would receive directly from Ikon). For the 2021-2022 season, those physical passes will ship this fall. If you purchased with us previously and did not receive your physical pass, please give us a call at 1 (800) 846-1302 so we can help.

Hoppy planning!

Questions:

- When do they cut off sales? Is there any chance that they’ll close sales soon?

- When do they typically raise prices to the “normal” price?

- They’ve already cut the price for “child” tickets. Is there any chance that they’ll cut the prices for other tickets too? (Don’t have a child anymore.)

Trying to figure out when I might get the pass, so if you have no thoughts, would appreciate it. And thanks for all of the info!

Hi Mark!

You are very welcome - thanks for taking the time to say hi! We do not have an end date for pass sales, but it is usually in early December. We also don't know exact dates that prices are expected to rise just yet, but the renewal price goes up May 4. In 2020, prices went up in early June (which was atypical). We have also seen prices increase in August and September, so if you can swing it, we'd definitely lock in your ticket as soon as you're able!

I live 2 minutes from Blue Mountain in Canada.

I have not used my Ikon pass (ski hill closed) and now Blue will open on Feb.16th. I would like to ski but is it worth using my Ikon pass for 6 weeks? Is there any compensation? Shall I defer and try to buy a 5x7 pass although I heard they are sold out.

Please advise.

Reply
Feb 11, 2021 at 5:27 p.m. FrogBlog Says...

Hi Aggie!

We'd advise you to follow the Adventure Assurance link since your mountain has been closed. If you don't use the pass this season, you may be able to roll the money towards a 2021-2022 pass. You'd need to request the deferral by April 11. Hope this helps!

Hoppy planning!
