My thoughts are that this is going to be a very short list

I am interested in the results however. I tend to run with Starwood for US Snow Sports redemptions typically either at Mammoth or Whistler but you have Vail, Steamboat and Aspen covered too.

I wish there were more IC ski resorts. The only IC ski resort worldwide that I know of is Davos.

Davos isn't even open I think?
There are Ski IC's in Korea and Lebanon, dunno about being in/out though, just a bit to remote for me.

Hotels with access to skiing areas, worldwide:
IC Pyeongchang in Korea isn't ski-in/out (but pistes are in walking distance, big ski area a car ride away).
Some buildings of the HI Pyeongchang are ski-in/out.

HIs in Changbaishan in China are ski-in/out.

IC Mzaar (Lebanon) is ski-in/out.

None in Europe and IC Davos, to be opened at the end of this year, is not at a skiing area.

HI Apex Vail in the USA is not ski-in/out.

HI Whistler is not ski-in/ski-out, but it's pretty close!

Park City Utah

HIX in Park City.

Not ski in or out, but 20,000 points per night redemption is a bargain.

Whilst the IC at Davos appears not to be located slopeside it does seem to be a short ride from the Davis/Klosters Ski Area

Skiing in Lebanon is fun and the IC Mzaar is a wonderful property to visit during the winter season (and any other season for that matter). When I mention skiing in Lebanon, a lot of people give me a surprised look on their face because they can't image a Middle Eastern country with snow covered mountains

Bumping an old thread.

With HI Whistler now re-flagged, does anybody know any decent IHG properties in North American ski resorts?

Holiday Inn Vail, other side of the highway from the village and ski lifts, shuttle to lifts every half hour, walking distance to a few restaurants and shops.

Holiday Inn Express Snowmass (at Aspen), rebranded about 3 years ago from (independent) Wildwood Lodge. Stayed there 5-6 years ago when it was the Wildwood Lodge, was not particularly nice. Apparently it was significantly refurbished but recent TripAdvisor reviews indicate there is still much to be desired. I guess it would be okay if one just wanted a reasonably priced room a 2 minute walk to the Snowmass slopes.

None, but IC Davos runs a regular ski shuttle. Not a "pain" to make it to the slopes at all.
