　　The Indy Pass: Uplifting Smaller Resorts The Indy Pass has only been around since 2019, but its made an impact on the world of skiing in those short six years. As illustrated in thisTeton Gravity Research video,Mountains Not For Profit, the Indy Pass is, directly and indirectly, helping small ski resorts and mountains survive and even thrive. Its funneling business to the resorts that have struggled to compete in the face of Vail and Alterras mega passes.

　　In 2024 the Indy Pass also purchased New Hampshires oldest resort, Black Mountain, which was about to fold under financial pressures. The brand turned the ski resort into a community-run co-opthat puts ownership in the hands of the mountains skiers and riders. Anyone who buys a Black Mountain pass has the opportunity to also purchase shares of the co-op.
