Is Stowe on the Ikon pass?
Stowe Mountain Resort used to be on the Ikon Pass, but it is no longer. Prior to 2022, Stowe was part of the Ikon Pass network under Alterra Mountain Company. Ikon Pass holders could ski at Stowe with no blackout dates (depending on the pass level). However, this changed when Vail Resorts acquired Stowe.
Recent Changes in Pass Ownership
After Vail Resorts took ownership of Stowe, the mountain left the Ikon Pass and joined the Epic Pass lineup. Starting in the 2022-2023 winter season, Stowe lifts are not accessible with an Ikon Pass. Travelers with Ikon will need separate tickets for Stowe if they wish to ski there. Conversely, Stowe is now fully covered by Epic passes.
Alternate Ski Pass Options
If you hold an Ikon Pass and still want to visit Stowe, you would buy a regular lift ticket from Stowe. For those considering different destinations, Ikon Pass offers many other Vermont and U.S. resorts (such as Killington or Sugarloaf). Meanwhile, if you have an Epic Pass or consider purchasing one, you now have Stowe included. Always plan ahead by checking current season pass mappings: resort affiliations can shift. In summary, no, Stowe is not on the Ikon Pass anymore; it’s exclusively part of Epic’s network now.
For skiers, this means the Ikon Pass network no longer includes Stowe, but it remains on Epic. Make sure to buy the right pass for your trips. Despite this shift, Stowe continues to offer great skiing, just under a different pass arrangement. It’s wise to verify the latest resort list on the Ikon website each year. Today, other New England mountains like Sunapee or Deer Valley (via Ikon Base) remain on Ikon, while Stowe is firmly Epic territory.
