Skiers and snowboarders, rejoice! The upcoming 2023-2024 season just got a little more exciting: IndyPass announced that with the addition of more than 50 resorts, the coveted pass will resume sales Tuesday morning.
For those who aren't familiar with it, IndyPass is one of the more affordable passes on the market and works exclusively with independent resorts around the world. Passholders can ski up to 164 days (two days per resort) during the season for less than $400 with the Base Pass option.
With this addition of more than 50 Alpine and Nordic resorts across three continents, the number of participating resorts is now well over 100.
Other perks of the pass? Many of the resorts are grouped geographically, so even if you don't make it out of a certain region, you can still hit quite a few locations. Also, these independently owned operations often see fewer crowds, shorter lines and plenty of opportunity to maximize time on the slopes.

There are a few things to keep in mind before skiers and snowboarders get their hopes up, though.
Limited numbers of the pass will only be available to those registered on the waitlist (which has been open since April), according to the brand's press release. The list is likely pretty lengthy at this point.
Those who do get the opportunity to purchase a pass will receive a unique code via email (the emails will go out in batches based on the original waitlist sign-up date). Using the code, you can purchase the pass Tuesday at 11 a.m. EDT.
In terms of pricing, here's what the passes will cost for this special release (slightly different from the original release):
For the Indy AddOn Pass, exclusively for partner resort passholders:
For the Indy XC Pass:
While the full list of new partner resorts will be released along with the passes Tuesday, the brand teased that the list includes additions across the U.S., Canada, Japan and Europe — including the largest ski resort in Austria.

If you're still hoping to snag a pass, hurry over to the waitlist and sign up. Hopefully, you'll get a chance to ski and ride all over the globe for what we think is a pretty unbeatable price.
