Denver, CO (June 4, 2020) — On April 17, Ikon Pass introduced Adventure Assurance, the industry’s first free program designed to alleviate uncertainty and provide flexibility to 20/21 pass holders. Today, Ikon Pass announces expanded Adventure Assurance benefits and more options to offer pass holders peace of mind for winter 20/21.
Whether pass holders ski a little, ride a lot, or choose to not use their pass throughout winter 20/21, Adventure Assurance has skiers and riders covered. Ikon Pass holders may elect to defer the purchase price paid for their unused 20/21 Ikon Pass to the 21/22 winter season. Or, if passes are used and there is an eligible COVID-19-related closure at any North American Ikon Pass destination, Ikon Pass holders will receive a credit toward a 21/22 Ikon Pass based on the percentage of days closed, more details below. Expanded Adventure Assurance coverage is free and included with every previously purchased 20/21 Ikon Pass and new 20/21 Ikon Pass purchases.
In addition to Adventure Assurance, Ikon Pass also offers double 20/21 renewal discounts to provide some value back to skiers and riders for the shortened 19/20 winter season, now available through Tuesday, June 16, 2020.
