Why Ikon Pass instead of INdy Pass?

As early Indy Partners, we greatly admire the Indy Pass and its growth to include over 200 ski areas. However, as the Midwest’s only large, full-service mountain destinations across a 10-state region, our new partnership with the Ikon Pass offers unparalleled flexibility. While our Legendary Pass continues to provide unlimited access to our home resorts, the Ikon Pass grants several days at each of our three locations plus the opportunity to explore more than 70 iconic mountain destinations across North America and around the globe.

Was Snowriver formerly Blackjack or Indianhead? 

Yes.  Snowriver combines the former Blackjack (now Black River Basin) and Indianhead (now Jackson Creek Summit).  Since acquisition, $15M has been invested including Upper Michigan’s only high-speed chairlift.
