Indy Pass adds Buffalo Ski Club and Dry Hill

GRANBY, COLORADO – Indy Pass announced today that 43 new resorts have signed on for the 2025/2026 season. Two of those new additions — Buffalo Ski Club and Dry Hill — are in New York, bringing the state’s total Indy member tally to sixteen, surpassing Michigan as the state with the most Indy members in the nation.

In total, 15 resorts were added in the US include Burke Mountain Resort in Vermont and Tenney and McIntyre Ski Area in New Hampshire. In Canada 11 resorts were added to the collection including Mont Sutton, Owl’s Head and Val D’Irene in Quebec. In Europe 13 resorts were added.

These new resorts will be joined by 228 returning from last year. The 271 resort partnership is the largest in the world. Visit the Indy Pass website for a complete list of resorts.

Buffalo Ski Club

Buffalo Ski Club is a private ski area located in Colden, New York. BSC was formed by the merger of three clubs: Buffalo Ski Club, Sitzmarker Ski Club, and Ski Tamarack.

The center features 225 acres with 43 trails catering to all ability levels, from beginner to expert. It offers three different lodges, six lifts, and a solid snowmaking system that covers 150 acres to supplement lake effect snow from Lake Erie.

BSC also runs a well-regarded snowsports school offering lessons for alpine skiing, snowboarding, and telemark skiing.

Reached for comment Erik Mogensen — Indy Pass Managing Director — shared his thoughts:

“Obviously having the ski area that I grew up at join the Indy Pass is deeply personal for me. What was then called Ski Tamarack, and is now part of the Buffalo Ski Center, was central to my childhood and where I have some of my happiest memories. It has been a dream come true to build a company with the purpose of supporting these independent areas. 33 years after I made my first turns at the place, I can go back and use my Indy Pass to ski it again. I plan on it.”

Dry Hill Ski Area

Dry Hill Ski Area is south of Watertown, New York, offering skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing across 35 acres of terrain with a 300-foot vertical drop. If you like natural snow, the location, right at the Eastern end of Lake Ontario, can deliver some fantastic skiing, if you time it right.

Dry Hill features a tubing park, a terrain park, snowmaking on 50% of its trails, and night skiing. The area provides a community atmosphere with a fireside lounge, and its facilities include one double chairlift and two surface lifts.
