The Ikon pass is one of the best ways to save money on lift tickets at Mammoth Mountain, so we’ve written everything you need to know about the 22/23 Ikon Pass below!

Mammoth Mountain is Now Only Available on the Ikon Pass
If Mammoth Mountain is the only place you plan on skiing or snowboarding, then a basic Mammoth Mountain season pass may be the best choice for you.
However, if you want to ride at Mammoth as well as other mountains in every region of North America, then a multi-mountain pass like the Ikon is the best way to save money on lift tickets! In previous seasons you could access Mammoth Mountain from both the Ikon Pass and the Mountain Collective pass, however for the 22/23 winter season the only multi-mountain pass that offers access to Mammoth will be the Ikon.
Palisades Tahoe and Sugarbush will also only be offered on the Ikon Pass instead of on Ikon and the Mountain Collective.
New Mountains Are Coming to the Ikon
For North American riders, the two biggest additions to the Ikon Pass for the 22/23 season are Snowbasin and Sun Valley.
Utah skiers and snowboarders, especially those in Salt Lake City, will have even more options on where to ski and ride thanks to the addition of Snowbasin to the Ikon Pass. Although Snowbasin will not be available on the Ikon Base Pass, regular Ikon Pass owners will get 7 days at the resort.
Similarly, Sun Valley will not be available on the Ikon Base Pass for the 22/23 season, but regular Ikon Pass owners will have 7 days of access.
Lastly, the regular Ikon Pass will also offer access to the Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley for the first time. If you’re a mountaineer you may be familiar with the Chamonix name, but most North American riders don’t realize that Chamonix covers several mountain resorts under one collective banner. That means that literally thousands of acres of skiable terrain just got added to the Ikon Pass, and we hope you get to ride each one of them!
