![]() When I put together the national version of the Pass Tracker 5000 earlier this week, I intentionally left Grand Targhee off the list of reciprocal partnerships, even though they have at least a dozen partner resort arrangements. ![]() Here’s a bit more about what this partnership means, both for the Ikon Pass and for its passholders: Something too big to name ![]() Ikon Passholders in North America were mostly banned from traveling to Europe last year, and the Zermatt partnership was suspended for the year even if they could get to Switzerland. Still, the announcement comes at a precarious time, as persistent Covid outbreaks threaten to reverse loosening international travel restrictions. The resort access is straightforward, and included on both the full Ikon and Ikon Base Passes with no caveats – giving the pass an edge over Vail’s Epic Pass, which grants extensive European access, but only on the most expensive version of the pass, and with significant fine print. Dolomiti Superski sprawls over 12 mountains, with a hard-to-comprehend 450 lifts and 889 runs. The partnership significantly enhances Ikon’s appeal as a true global ski product, adding a pair of resorts that scramble any North American’s expectations of what a ski resort can be. ![]() Combined with Switzerland’s Zermatt resort, which joined the pass in 2019, Ikon passholders now have up to 21 days of skiing across the European Alps, and access to 47 total destinations across nine countries on five continents. Base Pass holders will receive five days with blackouts. Ikon Pass today added Italy’s Dolomiti Superski and Austria’s Kitzbühel for the 2021-22 ski season, giving full passholders seven unrestricted days at each mountain. ![]()
