Maybe not. Only 10 ski areas though. Greek Peak, Toggenburg, and a few little hills in NH/RI/ME for the northeast.

The marketing Director at Sunlight is managing the Freedom Pass this season. Interesting that a couple places are in both Freedom and Indy. The difference is that Indy visits provide actual revenue to it's members. Freedom is a no-cost perk to encourage someone to buy a season pass. This season can get a discount on Indy if also get a season pass to one of the ski areas.

" . . .
The group could add still others, said Troy Hawks, the sales and marketing director for Sunlight who is managing the program and maintaining its website (skifreedompass.com). Trading free days for other resorts' passholders is a simple, easy way for small ski areas to compete with the Epic, Ikon, and even Indy Passes.
The lineup changes reflect both the impact of COVID-19 on resorts' plans to manage capacity this winter and the growth of the Indy Pass. Some former Freedom Pass members have joined the Indy Pass and left the Freedom fold, including Bolton Valley and Magic Mountain, Vt. Black Mountain and Lost Valley are in both pass programs."
Freedom Pass Adapts to Changing Marketplace - Ski Area Management
SAM Magazine—Glenwood Springs, Colo., Oct. 30, 2020—The Freedom Pass, a reciprocal lift ticket partnership that grants passholders three free days at member resorts, has survived the pandemic and the shifting season's pass landscape with a new, slightly smaller lineup for 2020-21. This year's...

Could be one of the hills that isn't on Freedom any more. Pretty sure the Sunlight guy wasn't the one maintaining the website before.

Why is ORDA’s online store always so bad? In the old system my son had the same photo from age 6-13. He was so embarrassed but every year it would crash when I tried to upload a new photo. Must be a state contract with a very knowledgeable HTML3 provider. The new one doesn’t seem any better - Here is the email I just sent to Gore:
Tried to reload my frequent skier cards tonight - you guys seem to have changed your webstore but it is no better than in the past. I’ve done this for several years now and it has literally never worked. I’m not a tech idiot - your interface is really bad.
First I tried to log into my acct. No luck - error message.
Then I put in my WTP number - success! I put my reload in my cart. I then clicked ‘keep shopping’ and put in my son’s WTP number. No luck - error message.
I then called tech support. While on the phone I saw the note on the login page saying you might need to reset your password, so I followed that, put in my email address, and it said Success and I got an email to reset my pass word.
I then tried four times to reset my pw and got errors saying ‘trouble looking up information please try again later’.
Tech support couldn’t help at all - said someone would call me back.
Pretty darn frustrating. Bright side is maybe it will discourage all those people who usually go to Vermont from going to Gore this year.
