How Much Does The IKON Pass cost?

The IKON Pass prices are below. During the year, the price rises by $30 -$50, at various points in the year, to reward you for planning your ski vacation and purchasing early (like when booking a flight – the best price is when you book early) so right now is the best time to buy.

When Can I Purchase An IKON Pass?

Ikon Passes are available to purchase between late April and December each year. So these passes are only available to purchase pre-season.

IKON Passes go back on sale in late April / May for the following season and the sales cycle repeats.

The IKON Passes work out to be great value as they are a cheaper option than paying last-minute window ticket prices.
