New National Ski Pass Announces 14 Partner Resorts — How Does the $400 Snow Pass Stack Up?

The multi-mountain ski pass market is getting another competitor.

Back in May, SnowBrains reported on the launch of the new Snow Pass, a sub-$400 national pass designed to compete with major passes through affordable access, regional variety, and a more flexible resort partnership model.The pass wasn’t even on sale yet, and the partner resorts were unknown.

Now, Snow Pass, offered by the company Snow Partners, has announced its 14 partner resorts for the 2026-27 season. The new pass costs $339.99 and includes two days at each participating resort, along with 30% off additional days.

The lineup is heavily focused on the Northeast, making Snow Pass less of a traditional national pass and more of a regional road trip pass.

The partner resorts include:

• Mountain Creek, NJ
• Mount Southington, CT
• Belleayre Mountain, NY
• Gore Mountain, NY
• Whiteface Mountain, NY
• Oak Mountain, NY
• HoliMont, NY
• Pleasant Mountain, ME
• Ski Butternut, MA
• Blue Hills Ski Area, MA
• Ski Martock, Nova Scotia
• Monarch Mountain, CO
• Snow King Mountain, WY
• Big SNOW American Dream, NJ

The inclusion of Whiteface, Gore, and Belleayre immediately gives Snow Pass a prominent presence in the Northeast. The three New York mountains offer some of the region’s best skiing and give the pass strong appeal to skiers around the New York City metropolitan area.

That regional focus is also Snow Pass’ biggest weakness. With only Monarch Mountain in Colorado, and Snow King in Wyoming, outside the East, the pass doesn’t offer much for skiers in the West. It also lacks the iconic destination appeal of larger products such as Ikon, Epic, or Mountain Collective.

The most obvious comparison is the Indy Pass, which also uses a two-days-per-resort model and has built a massive network of independent ski areas. Snow Pass can’t compete with Indy’s scale yet. Indy has more than 200 participating resorts for 2026-27 and is currently sold out. Snow Partners will need to expand significantly, but its strong Northeast roster gives it a solid starting point.

Snow Pass isn’t the only product returning from Snow Partners. The Snow Triple Play returns at $179.99 and offers three total days across 23 participating resorts, with a maximum of two days at any one mountain. It includes many of the Snow Pass resorts while adding destinations such as Jiminy Peak, Cranmore, Bromont, and several Quebec resorts.

The Triple Play is aimed at lower-frequency skiers, while Snow Pass makes more sense for someone planning multiple ski trips throughout the winter. The biggest difference is that Snow Pass offers 30% off additional days, while the Triple Play does not.

Snow Pass isn’t going to replace Epic or Ikon for skiers looking for unlimited access to major destination resorts. It also has a long way to go before matching Indy Pass’s massive network. But that may not be the goal. For Northeast skiers who want to visit several different mountains without spending a fortune, Snow Pass could be an appealing middle ground. The company also plans to launch a Midwest version of the Snow Triple Play for the 2027-28 season, after several potential partners finish existing pass commitments.

Snow Pass and Snow Triple Play go on sale September 8 at 4 p.m. EST. For a limited number of Snow Passes, there is a savings of $60, bringing the total cost down to $339.99.
