Update - October 9th, 2026
The new prices were revealed by Alterra Mountain Company this morning. For adults, the Ikon Pass increased $80 to $1,529, and the Ikon Base Pass increased $80 to $1099.

Alterra Mountain Company has announced prices for its 2026/27 Ikon Pass products will increase after October 8, 2026. Historical trends indicate the price of the Ikon Pass may rise $110 to $1,559, and the Ikon Base Pass could increase by $100 to $1,119. While we believe these are the most likely amounts, we can see realistic scenarios where the Ikon Pass increases anywhere from $100-$130 and the Ikon Base Pass increases by $90-$110.

When the price of the Ikon Pass increased in April of this year, it was the first time since 2021 that the spring bump was $50. That year, the October price increase was $100, which matched the pattern of increasing the price of the Ikon Pass by a total of $150 over the course of the pass sales period that prevailed from 2019-2023. In 2024 and 2025, the total increase during the sales period were $200 and $190, respectively.

The reason we think Alterra will not attempt to match the $190 total increase seen last year is that it would require this upcoming price increase to be $140. That amount would be 28% higher than the largest single jump to date, the $110 increase in April 2024. But we do believe matching the record $110 figure is a likely possibility.

Our $100 Ikon Base Pass price increase prediction is based largely on the fact that Alterra loves increasing pass prices by that amount at its deadlines. Since 2019, there has been a $100 price increase for the Ikon Base Pass at either the spring or fall deadlines in all but one year. It would also bring the total price increase over the course of the sales period to $170, splitting the difference between last year’s $190 total increase and the $150 total increase seen between 2019 and 2024 for the Ikon Base Pass.

The timing of the announcement aligns with Alterra’s typical early-to-mid-October price update. If this season follows the pattern of previous years, this will likely be the final increase before passes go off sale in early December.
