Deer Valley Now on Ikon Base Pass for Winter 26/27 + More Ischgl Access & New Bonus Mountains

For winter 26/27, Ikon Base Pass holders now have three days of access to Deer Valley Resort in Utah, unlocking the expanded mountain at a moment when there’s more Deer Valley to experience than ever before. Ikon Base Pass blackout dates apply, lift reservations are required.

New mountain access meets Deer Valley’s biggest winter yet. For the first time, Ikon Base Pass holders get access to Deer Valley with three new days to explore its iconic groomers and aspen-lined runs on a record 4,500 skiable acres, including 200 new acres and seven new runs served by the new lift for 26/27, Hail Peak Express. Deer Valley is slated to open for the winter season on December 5, 2026, conditions permitting. Deer Valley is a skier-only mountain and maintains a limited daily skier count to preserve its unique experience and premier service. Reservations are required and can be made here starting today.

“We look forward to welcoming Ikon Base Pass holders to Deer Valley this season as the resort’s largest expansion continues to take shape,” said Todd Bennett, President & Chief Operating Officer, Deer Valley Resort. “Deer Valley is a special place for skiers, and for winter 26/27, Ikon Base Pass skiers now have three days to access Deer Valley’s all-new terrain, award-winning dining, and exceptional guest service.”

More Access to Ischgl

Ischgl in Austria is one of Europe’s most dynamic mountain destinations, already offering access to the Swiss resort of Samnaun. New for the 26/27 season, Ikon Pass access expands at Ischgl to neighboring ski areas in Austria’s Paznaun Valley — Galtür, Kappl & See. Ikon Pass holders now have seven combined days total and Ikon Base Pass holders have five combined days total across all five areas of Ischgl.

Galtür brings a calm, family-friendly pace to the Paznaun Valley, set above 1,600 meters. Six sectors offer every level of terrain, from kids’ zones and freeride to No. 19 HARDigatti, an 85% gradient run and the valley’s steepest slope.

Kappl & See are two resorts, linked by a free ski bus. Sunny, south-facing Kappl is made for spring laps and freeride days, and a short hike reaches a Freeride World Tour face. See rolls out wide, mostly mellow slopes for relaxed carving and Fear of Heights, a 13 km run that drops 1,530 meters to the valley.

More Midwest Bonus Mountains

The Midwest goes even bigger with Crystal Ridge, Nordic Mountain and Little Switzerland in Wisconsin joining the Bonus Mountain lineup for winter 26/27. Ikon Pass holders can now ski and ride two days each at 14 Bonus Mountains.
