Since I'm not doing any of the mega passes this season I started looking at the Indy Pass in the off chance I can get away from the baby for a week. The problem is that it's only 2 days at each resort, and the resorts are either too far from each other or too small to warrant a whole trip out west.

I'm guessing most you use the pass for local mountains? Greek, Magic, etc?

I wish the Indy Pass did the mountain collective thing where you get half off additional days.

I'm curious if anybody has really done a big trip with this?
 
Powder Mountain in pleased to announce a partnership with Indy Pass, a multi-mountain season pass, offering access to North America's independent resorts.

If you are on Facebook, there is a pretty active Group called Indy Passholders. Have seen plans by a few people to do ski safaris based on Indy in the northeast or out west. Need at least a couple of weeks and a willingness to do a lot of driving, mostly in the dark.

Indy is based on a completely mission statement than the Mountain Collective. When the MCP first came out, the locations were deliberately spaced out so that it was hard to get to 2-3 during the same trip. That changed. I thought it was crazy but know of a carload of Australians who only used the MCP for a 3-week trip in the Rockies. They did 2 days of skiing followed by driving, and driving, to the next destination resort.

The primary market for Indy are people who have been getting to the slopes 3-5 days in recent years. Not for lack of interest, but because life, and perhaps lack of money, doesn't match up with local season passes or a week-long trip to a destination resort. A few days trips or two weekends close by can be a lot of fun for a family using Indy.
