Which New England Ski Areas Are on Epic, Ikon, and Indy

Pass rosters change every year, and they're published by the pass companies — who have every reason to make their own list look long. What follows is the other direction: which mountains say, on their own websites, that they're on a given pass for 2026–27.

What these lists are, and aren't

Each name above appeared on that mountain's own site with the current season attached. We don't take a roster from a pass company's marketing page and reverse it into our records, because that's how a mountain that quietly left a pass stays listed on it for another year.

The flip side is that absence here means we haven't confirmed it, not that it isn't true. We've checked 43 of 91 New England areas. A mountain missing from the Indy list below might well be on Indy — its website just hasn't said so with a season attached yet.

Three ways to get this wrong

We nearly made all three, which is why they're worth naming.

A discount is not a membership. One Massachusetts area advertises "Ikon Pass Discounts" to its own season passholders. That's a perk flowing to their customers, not the mountain being on Ikon. Read quickly, it looks identical to an affiliation, and recording it would have put a mountain on a pass that doesn't sell it.

Bonus access is not unlimited access. Cranmore is on Ikon — as a Bonus Mountain, worth two days. Someone buying an Ikon Pass expecting a winter of Cranmore would be making an expensive mistake, and a roster that lists it flat alongside unlimited mountains invites exactly that. The individual resort pages carry that detail; a single roster column can't.

A nav link is not a commitment. Several mountains have an "Indy Pass" item in their menu with no season attached anywhere on the page. That could be current, or a leftover from last year. We record an affiliation when the mountain names the season — which is why two resorts owned by the same company can appear differently here: one says "26/27 Ikon Pass" outright, the other just links to Ikon. Same corporate parent, different evidence, different treatment.

Two naming quirks worth knowing

The New England Pass isn't a third-party network like the others — it's Boyne's own pass, covering its own mountains. It shows up in these rosters because the resorts name it, but buying it is buying access to one company's portfolio.

The pass most New England skiers still call the "NH SuperPass" is branded the White Mountain SuperPass on all four member mountains' sites. We label it the way the mountains do, which is the general rule here: if a reader would see a different name on the resort's page than on ours, ours is wrong.

What this page doesn't do

It doesn't tell you which pass to buy. Prices and blackout structures are set centrally by the pass companies, change during the season, and aren't a fact about any single mountain — so they aren't in our records and we won't restate them from memory. What we do track is the deadline each mountain publishes for its own season pass, which is on the pass deadline page.

One mountain here has a relationship with its pass that no roster can capture: Black Mountain in Jackson was bought outright by the Indy Pass after announcing it would close.

For opening dates, see the tracker. For how any of this gets checked, the methodology page explains what we publish and what we refuse to.

Opening Day Alerts

One email a week through the autumn, listing the New England mountains that have named an opening day — each one checked against the mountain’s own site, not rumor. It stops when the season starts.
