The Ikon Pass goes on sale 3/11. The adult
base Pass is $729, and it includes blackout dates, and limited to 4 days at certain resorts. I think that’s the pass for me. There’s no senior pass option

Ah, so that's may the source of the rumor that JH wouldn't be included in Ikon. Some people were thinking only of Ikon Base. Anyone who wants to plan a trip to JH or Aspen has to decide between paying the Add-on cost or just committing to Full Ikon.Also note that Jackson Hole and Aspen are not included on the base again, you have to add them on separately if you want them. Glad Jackson Hole was last year's trip!
I believe the base is 5 days at certain resorts.

For the trip in Dec, my ski buddy from the midwest added on JH since he hadn't planned on going there in 2020-21 and only has Ikon Base. At $150 for 2 days, that was still a decent price for a destination resort out west. He'll be buying a day ticket for $85 in March for Taos since a Ski Week is 6 days. He'll use his Ikon pass more than enough to make it worthwhile for 2020-21.
I'm looking at an add-on, as well, for Windham Mountain. Last year it was only about $150 more; pricing isn't up yet for 21-22.
As I remember the original renewal discount for 2020-21 was $100. That was increased at some point because of the pandemic. The competition between Epic and Ikon made a difference last spring.Renewal discount for full Ikon last year was $200 but this year is $100.
I think you are right. They threw in an extra $100 last year due to the pandemic/skiing ending early or something like that.As I remember the original renewal discount for 2020-21 was $100.
Interesting, if someone buys an Ikon pass but then decides that a local Crystal-only pass makes more sense, it will be possible to switch if the Ikon pass hadn't been used for 2021-22. The local passes are priced to encourage people to ski midweek.looks like Crystal has dropped from unlimited on Ikon Base and is only available as unlimited on the full Ikon now. @Christy hopefully that would help with congestion there?

Except for Deer Valley, the resorts with limited days for Full Ikon are Partners that are independent resorts that aren't owned by Alterra. So each Partner's owner makes a decision about what access to provide to Ikon holders. Alterra uses Ikon as the unlimited season pass for their resorts. DV has a unique history and the DV-only season pass costs around $2500.Why not also make it one of the 28 (!!) destination limited to 7 days?
