Brundage in McCall, ID is on Indy. If the plans of the new owners who took over in Nov 2020 work out, could be quite a different place in a few years. Becoming a 4-season resort is key to long term survival as a sustainable business. That's just as true for independent ski areas/resorts as it is for independent destination resorts like Taos or JH.

SAM Magazine—McCall, Idaho, Nov. 11, 2021—Brundage Mountain’s new ownership group, which acquired the ski area in November 2020, has a 10-year plan to transform the mountain into a multi-season destination resort.

Upgrades include new ski-in/ski-out accommodations, a revitalized base village, expanded lifts and terrain, and an array of new recreation and mountain amenities.

“For years, we’ve been listening to feedback and suggestions from our guests,” said Brundage Mountain president and CEO Bob Looper. “Three common themes always rise to the surface: add more lifts and terrain, improve the lodge facilities, and offer overnight accommodations. Our plan is to deliver on all three of those requests so we can continue to grow strategically and sustainably while preserving the classic Brundage vibe and family atmosphere.”

The Indy Ski Pass Lives Up to Its Name (Published 2021)

The lower-cost pass targets skiers who like to stay local and sample smaller, independently owned mountains, while saving money.

Brownski, 50, was an early Indy adopter from New York, and for him savings were a big incentive. “I knew a few of the hills on the pass, like Catamount, so I knew I would like skiing there,” he said in a telephone interview, referring to a Berkshires resort. “And I ski with my kids, so having something affordable makes a big difference when you have to buy passes for multiple people.”

He does mostly day trips, visiting resorts within a three-hour drive from his home. He is exactly the type of skier Mr. Fish had in mind when he created Indy. “Our model is, if you can get two to four days and sleep in your own bed, plus a weekend getaway or two, the pass is a great value,” Mr. Fish said.

I spoke to Doug, he's coming east for INDY FEST in March, stay tuned for deets on that.
 
I NEVER get through the wall on the NYT ever it seems. I guess it was fate this time.
 
Elisabeth does a good job introducing Indy to people who are not likely to know much about multi-resort pass options at all, and probably haven't ever skied enough to make a season pass worth it either. Meaning they are the target market Doug Fish had in mind when he decided to spend his retirement making Indy a reality. She's been writing articles about skiing for The NY Times for a while. If you're wondering how I know . . . I was quoted for an article about the MCP several years ago. She's also a Ski Diva.
