MANCHESTER — Black Mountain operations manager Danny Allen remembers meeting the skiers and snowboarders traveling and camping around New England who discovered the Jackson ski area because of the Indy Pass last season.
“The Indy Pass had definitely helped us out getting new customers to Black,” he said. “I’ve met a ton of people that have the Indy Pass that had never heard of us who showed up because of it.”
