*Updated for the 24/25 ski season

With so many perks packed into today’s multi-resort season passes, it can be tough to keep track of where you’re scoring the best value for your hard-earned dollars. That’s why we’re diving into the IKON PASS, giving you an insider’s guide to making the most of your pass at over 50 world-class resorts across the globe.
