Ikon Pass adds access to Chile’s Valle Nevado

Ikon passholders now have access to Valle Nevado in Chile, bringing the total number of Ikon resorts to 37 across four continents, according to a news release from Alterra Mountain Co.

The South American resort will offer seven days for Ikon Pass and five days for Ikon Base, with no blackout dates. Valle Nevado’s season runs from June to September, allowing passholders to ski year-round.

“Now Ikon Pass holders can extend their 2019 season by booking a trip to Chile for the legendary above-treeline terrain in the Andes that Valle Nevado serves up,” Alterra Chief Marketing Officer Erik Forsell was quoted as saying in the release. “South America is full of passionate skiers and riders who can also now take advantage of an endless winter with the Ikon Pass as they hit the slopes of North America during the 2018/2019 winter season.”

The Ikon Pass, which was created in January, is a collaboration of Alterra, Aspen Skiing Co., Boyne, POWDR and independently owned ski areas. Unlimited access to Winter Park Resort, owned by Alterra Mountain Co., is included in the Ikon Pass.
