Multi-resort ski passes like the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass have been the gold standard of multi-resort ski passes for years. More recently, smaller operators have followed suit with their own passes, as evidenced by the New England Pass and the Power Pass. Now Boyne Resorts, North America’s largest family-owned independent mountain resort company, has launched their own season pass, called the Boyne Passport, for the 2025-26 winter season. Continue reading as we give you all the details on this new multi-resort ski pass. Head to our pass page to check out more of our pass buying guides.
Boyne Passport Buyer’s Guide
What is the Boyne Passport?
Boyne Resorts has unveiled the Boyne Passport, a bold new season‑pass option granting unlimited, no‑blackout access to all 10 of its ski destinations across North America for winter 2025‑26—no more juggling local passes or worrying about blackout days. Notably, it includes unlimited access to Big Sky’s famed Lone Peak Tram, early lift access at key resorts (Big Sky, Sunday River, Sugarloaf), plus summer perks like scenic lift rides and mountain biking, and discounts on lodging, retail, dining, and friends & family tickets. Passport holders also unlock a 50 % discount on lift tickets to resorts on The Mountain Collective and can tack on an Ikon Pass (full for $799 or Ikon Base for $299) for even more ski adventures.
Ski Resorts on the Boyne Passport
- Big Sky Resort, Montana

- Sugarloaf, Sunday River, and Pleasant Mountain, Maine

The Boyne Explorer Pass
The Boyne Explorer Pass is an alternative for skiers with lighter appetites for travel, offering 3 to 6 days of access across the same 10 destinations. Pass holders also receive a bonus day at either Pleasant Mountain or Cypress Mountain, plus lodging discounts. There are select blackout dates at Big Sky, Boyne’s headlining ski resort, and one of the best ski resorts in North America.
Who is the Boyne Passport for?
First and foremost, the Boyne Passport isn’t a competitor to the major multi-resort ski passes like the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass. But neither is it an affordable pass like the Indy Pass. Frankly, it’s for the skier who doesn’t bat an eye at the cost of skiing. As Stuart Winchester writes for The Storm Skiing Journal, this is more for the Boyne loyalist who shuffle between Big Sky and Boyne’s more regional ski areas.
Additionally, Boyne’s portfolio of resorts are spread out across North America and aren’t as concentrated as other passes, like the Power Pass, which is concentrated on the American Southwest and South America. It’s ideal for someone who lives in Maine or Michigan, with access to Boyne’s ski resorts there, but who may also want to plan a trip or two to Big Sky. It may be of interest to people who live in the Pacific Northwest, like Seattle, who can easily drive to the Summit at Snoqualmie and Cypress Mountain, but who also can hop on a quick direct flight from Seattle to Bozeman to access Big Sky.
How much does the Boyne Passport cost?
The Boyne Passport launched at $2,600 for adults and around $1,000 for kids and teens. It’ll increase in price as the season gets closer. The Boyne Passport includes unlimited access at all ski resorts, including Lone Peak Tram access at Big Sky Resort, and a number of benefits including 50% lift ticket savings at resorts on The Mountain Collective, lodging discounts, early lift access at Big Sky, Sunday River, and Sugarloaf, 10 discounted lift tickets for friends and family, summer lift access for scenic rides and mountain biking, and other benefits. The Boyne Explorer 6-day pass launched at $570 for adults. There are also 3, 4, and 5-day options. These all also come with a bonus day at Cypress or Pleasant. For the 6-day pass, that comes out to 7 days of skiing for $81. It, too, will increase as the season gets closer.
