Indy Employee Pass
What is an Indy Employee Pass?
The Indy Employee Pass is a special version of the Indy Pass available only to employees of Indy partner resorts that participate in the Indy Employee Pass Program. Every Indy partner resort is welcome to join.
The pass includes two free days of skiing or riding, plus a third day at a discounted rate, at each participating resort. Because not every Indy resort takes part, check the full list of participating resorts and their blackout dates below.
Indy Employee Pass FAQ's
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
- Only current employees and volunteers of participating Indy partner resorts are eligible for the Indy Employee Pass. Resorts can opt into this program ahead of each season.
- The pass is valid only at Indy ski areas who participate in the Employee Pass Program and can’t be redeemed at other Indy resorts. See the full list below.
- Each participating resort manages access for its own staff by giving eligible employees and volunteers a unique purchase code.
- Employee Passes have their own unique set of blackout dates determined by each resort (see below).
- Advance reservations are required at any resort that requires them for the standard Indy Pass (see here).
- Any employee who purchases the Employee Pass will need to provide proof of employment to activate their pass. Employees must provide a recent paystub. Volunteers must provide a signed letter on resort letterhead from their leadership team confirming active volunteer status.
- The only cost for the Employee is $25 for the account/pass setup.
- To keep it cheap, the Employee Pass is digital, so there’s no physical card with this purchase. To redeem your lift ticket at a participating resort, show a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license.
- A 26/27 Indy Base or Indy+ Pass purchased earlier cannot be exchanged for a refund toward an Employee Pass after November 10, 2026.
