Chamonix is going IKON with five days on the Base Pass and seven on the full IKON pass. For example, Full IKON Pass holder will get seven days each at Sun Valley and Snowbasin, but the resorts will also be part of the Ikon Base Pass Plus, which costs $200 more than the Base Pass, and gets pass holders five blackout-restricted days at each.Īnd there’s more shifting: Deer Valley resort and Alta also are moving to the Base Pass Plus, joining Aspen Snowmass and Jackson Hole. There’s also a shifting in some major resorts around the pass program offers. These are available on the seven day program. There's more: IKON pass has just announced the addition of Panorama Resort in B.C. Chamonix arguably has the best expert and guided terrain in the world, but there is plenty of beginner and intermediate terrain at Les Planards, Le Tour, Argentiere/Les Grands Montets, Vallorcine, Chamonix/Brevent, and at Les Houches. Since the Chamonix valley is low and the ski lifts rise to over 9,800 feet, there are plenty of opportunities to ski 6,000 vertical feet here.
Chamonix is comprised of five different ski areas, two of which are linked together with the rest separated along the length of the valley. The third new destination – also a defector from the Epic Pass - is Chamonix Mont Blanc Valley, France, one of the most famous resorts in the Alps with five days on the Base Pass and seven on the full pass. It’s on a par with Alta and Snowbird and offers the best options for intermediates and advanced skiers and snowboarders. It is essentially a day area on a big powdery scale. Sun Valley, of course, is world famous, while Snowbasin is far less known. Same ownership under the Holding Family (think Sinclair Oil), but as different as night and day. IKON has been significantly enhanced by the addition (by defection from the Epic Pass) of truly iconic resorts Sun Valley, Idaho and Snowbasin, its sister resort in Utah. Resorts owned by Alterra include Steamboat, Winter Park Resort, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows, Mammoth Mountain, June Mountain, Big Bear Mountain Resort, Stratton, Snowshoe, Tremblant, Blue Mountain, Deer Valley Resort, and CMH Heli-Skiing & Summer Adventures. Alterra was formed in 2018 and is a joint venture with KSL Capital Partners and Henry Crown and Company, owners of Aspen and Snowmass. The IKON pass is owned and operated by Alterra Mountain Resorts, a group of 15 unique ski resorts, combined with partner agreements bringing this truly “iconic” mix of resorts up to 50.
