The Ikon is a multi-resort ski and snowboard season pass offered by the Alterra Mountain Company that gives you access to a wide network of ski destinations worldwide. Currently, the Ikon Pass gives you access to 62 resorts across five continents and eleven countries for a total of 239,363 acres, 1,697 lifts, and 7,539 trails. If you’ve ever considered getting the Ikon pass, the 2025-26 winter season is shaping up to be a great year with the addition of Le Massif De Charlevoix in Canada.

The Le Massif De Charlevoix is located between the Laurentian Range and the shores of the Saint Lawrence River and is the steepest mountain east of the Canadian Rockies. This area receives a whopping 254 inches of annual snowfall, but it has enough adventure for every skill level. With 53 new trails and glades to explore, the total number of destinations in Canada will increase to nine, including the Tremblant in Quebec.

On this note, Erik Forsell, Chief Marketing Officer at the Alterra Mountain Company, said, “Canada offers some of the best mountain experiences in the world. The special culture of Quebec adds to the uniqueness of any visit, putting Le Massif de Charlevoix and Tremblant at the top of every Ikon Pass holder’s bucket list.”

  • Ikon Pass holders for the upcoming season will get seven-day access to Le Massif de Charlevoix with no blackout dates.
  • Ikon Base Pass holders will have four-day access with select blackout dates.
  • Le Massif De Charlevoix will also be available on the Ikon Session Pass.

Prices will vary by pass type, but early-bird pricing is still available for the 2025-26 season! Prices will increase after April 17, 2025.

Staying dry through the April Showers and May Flowers
The North Face new rain collection

In 1966, a brand emerged with a name defining its goal. The North Face got its name from the most challenging side of the mountain to traverse. Since then, they have been one of the most popular and most dependable brands when it comes to the outdoorsman looking to summit the tallest peak, navigate the harshest climate, or just go from the car to the house without being drenched in a downpour. They have now dropped the 2025 rain collection with the goal of getting you from the April showers to the May flowers without spending months soaked to the bone. While they are always stacked with great outdoors gear, there are a few standouts in the collection The North Face released this year for you to consider.

The Epic Day Pass is flexible and affordable
Stowe Mountain Resort

Eastern backcountry skiing and riding brings snow-globe-like experiences among the Greens, Adirondacks, and more. After a storm, a frosting covers the trees as the sun breaks over the mountains, and on the skin up, you can dream up lines on the untouched surface. When I get to the top, it’s a sweet relief to transition, point it, and savor those turns.

But backcountry adventures are weather-dependent, and getting out there isn’t always the best option. Mid-winter ice storms, tired legs, and even avalanche danger can put a dent in even the best plans. What do you do when you still want to get in those turns?
