The Indy Pass

fly somewhere and only get 2 days...?
I wouldn't fly somewhere just to use Indy.
That's my likely plan -- fly to Boise and ski two days each at Brundage and Tamarack, one day at Bogus Basin (just north of Boise, not on the Indy pass), and then one day at Soldier Mountain. There's a smaller Indy hill just to the south, Pomerelle, but it's three hours from Boise and probably not worth the extra driving.

That'd be four new ski areas to add to the list since I only got one this season.

A friend considered flying to Boise to ski at Bogus and Tamarack.

Southwest flies to Boise. For me, that mattered because that's on the way between Albuquerque and Bend, OR. My ski buddy from NM picked me up in Boise for a ski safari in May that started with Bachelor.
 
In the recent podcast interview with Stu, Doug tells the story of his RV trek visiting a bunch of Indy locations in the northwest this winter. In one case, there was another RV parking overnight. Turned out to be Indy passholders . . . from New Hampshire. Doug calls folks like that "Indy Explorers."

My plan also. Its a toss up for me for Soldier- cat track city or Pomerrelle - kind of like a Butternut, mellow, but with a bit of alpine and good scenery. Pom claims 500 inches a season but the total this year was about 230. Soldier recently had a fire sweep across part of the mountain, damaged a lift but fixed prior to start of season. We might even go west to Anthony Lakes because, why not, its the mini alps.

For someone willing to do some driving, combining Indy with the MCP would make for some good skiing when flying into SLC. Indy has PowMow just north of SLC, Beaver in Logan, and Eagle Point in Beaver. The MCP includes a couple days each at Alta, Snowbird, plus GT/JH isn't that far a drive from SLC.
 
So new Indy resorts in in NY and PA, to be announced Tue. I'm hoping for Montage and Platty. Anyone else have rumors, speculation, hopes and dreams to share on the matter?
 
Early guess is Bristol, will look into Pa Platty would be sweet but it’s only open 3 days a week? and it’s not far from West mt ( already on the indy?) Thanks for the heads up, been thinking of the Indy, this mi help sway my decision
