If 2026 is the year you want to finally hit the slopes then the Ikon Pass has your back – or rather, your skis, snowboard, and questionable decision-making skills.

This winter, Ikon is going big in Asia, adding nine new destinations across Japan, China, and South Korea. That’s right. From the powdery peaks of Niseko and Shiga Kogen to the Olympic-ready slopes of Yunding Snow Park and Mona Yongpyong, you can rack up to 77 days of skiing and riding without ever leaving the continent.

Japan alone now reads like a greatest-hits tour: Myoko Suginohara for long, sweeping runs two hours from Tokyo, Furano for bonkers “Bonchi Powder,” Mt.T for a bucket-list faceplant into 15 metres of deep snow, and Zao Onsen for skiing among literal snow monsters before soaking in a steaming onsen. NEKOMA, APPI, Shiga Kogen, it’s like someone said, “Let’s make Asia the ultimate ski playground,” and then actually did it.

Meanwhile, China and South Korea are throwing their hats in the ring with Olympic-level infrastructure, sunlit slopes, and enough halfpipes to make Shaun White nod approvingly.

Access is straightforward: Ikon Pass holders get 7 days at Shiga Kogen plus 7 at each new Asian destination, no blackout dates, and Base Pass holders get 5 days each. Session Pass? Sorry, you can sit this one out.

Perfect for those whose 2026 resolution involves powder and a whole lotta adventure, the Ikon Pass is basically a free pass to Asia’s snowiest destinations.
