Alterra Mountain Company

Alterra Mountain Company is an American hospitality company established in 2018 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado. It is privately owned by KSL Capital Partners and Henry Crown and Company, the owners of Aspen/Snowmass. The company operates as a conglomerate of several ski resorts and offers a combined season pass known as the Ikon Pass. Kelly Vohs serves as CEO of the company. The company was formed through the combination of several ski resort assets. In April 2017, KSL and Aspen jointly purchased Intrawest. This acquisition was followed by Mammoth Resorts a few days later and Deer Valley in August. All of these assets were combined with KSL's Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows (the two ski resorts were combined and later renamed Palisades Tahoe) to form Alterra Mountain Company in January 2018. In late January 2018, Alterra announced the Ikon Pass, a season pass that provides unlimited or restricted access to all of their ski resorts in collaboration with Alta Ski Area, Snowbasin, Arapahoe Basin, Aspen/Snowmass, Boyne Resorts, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Powdr Corporation, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, SkiBig3, and Snowbird. This is a competitor to Vail Resorts' Epic Pass. In 2021, Alterra Mountain Company announced its plans to invest $207 million in capital improvements for the upcoming year, including transformational base area and on-mountain developments at Steamboat, Deer Valley Resort, Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows and Mammoth Mountain. Jared Smith was chief executive officer from 2022 until March 2026. Kelly Vohs took over as chief executive officer on October 19, 2026.
