SAM Magazine—Denver, Sept. 10, 2026—Madarao Mountain Resort in Japan and Beidahu Ski Resort and Lake Songhua Resort in China have joined Ikon Pass for winter 2026-27. The additions bring the total number of ski areas accessible on the pass to 80 worldwide, including 14 in Asia. 

Ikon Pass holders will have access to seven days each at the three new partners, and five days each on the Ikon Base Pass with no blackout dates. There is no access to these new destinations on the Ikon Session Pass.

Also new for 2026-27, Caberfae Peaks in Michigan and Snowy Range Ski Area in Wyoming have been added as Bonus Mountains. Pass holders get two free days at each—direct to lift at Snowy Range and window check-in at Caberfae Peaks—with blackout dates. There are now 11 Bonus Mountains, all in North America.

"These additions demonstrate the commitment of Ikon Pass to give more access to the mountains our pass holders love and a bucket list that spans the world," said David Flueck, chief customer officer and president of Ikon Pass, Alterra Mountain Company.
