Pass

Indy

Indy Pass: 2 days, with blackout dates on the Indy Base Pass (per Indy/PGRI reporting and the 2026-27 ZRankings pass guide listing Powderhorn CO on Indy). One 2026-27 comparison source (Skivio) claimed Powderhorn is not on a major pass, so Indy status should be re-confirmed against indypass.com before publishing. Wikipedia publishes terrain as 30% advanced/expert combined, so expert is null. Nearest community is Mesa; nearest city is Grand Junction, ~45 minutes away. The resort's live Mountain Report page currently counts 56 runs, vs 63 total on Wikipedia.
