NEW: Three Premier Midwest Destinations For the 26/27 season, Ikon Pass holders will have seven-day access each to Snowriver Mountain Resort in Michigan, Lutsen Mountains in Minnesota and Granite Peak in Wisconsin with no blackout dates, and five-day access each on Ikon Base Pass, with select blackout dates. Snowriver Mountain Resort, Lutsen Mountains and Granite Peak are all available on the Ikon Session Pass.
Snowriver Mountain Resort sits deep in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, defined by snowfall, long rolling runs, and a pace that invites skiers and riders to settle in for the day. With over 200 inches of legendary UP powder each season and the region’s only high-speed lift, Snowriver Mountain Resort blends quiet, uncrowded terrain with moments that feel unexpectedly big.
Set high above the blue expanse of Lake Superior in Minnesota, Lutsen Mountains delivers a Midwest ski experience that feels anything but expected. Spread across four interconnected peaks and anchored by Mid-America’s only gondola, Lutsen Mountains pairs sweeping vertical with nonstop lake views, where snow-covered runs roll toward an endless horizon of water and sky.
Granite Peak rises unexpectedly above the forests of central Wisconsin, providing a true mountain feel where it’s least expected. Fast lifts, real vertical, and expansive terrain combine with a lively base-area energy that feels unmistakably like a ski town. It’s Wisconsin’s biggest mountain, designed for efficient laps by day and easy transitions into town when the lifts stop spinning.
“Granite Peak, Lutsen Mountains, and Snowriver Mountain Resort are known for their family-friendly environment and dedication to delivering unforgettable winter adventures, and are an ideal fit for loyal and new Ikon Pass holders,” said Charles Skinner, President & Owner, Midwest Family Ski Resorts. “We look forward to welcoming our new Ikon Pass guests for a truly unique Midwest mountain experience."
