Full Indy network is Band B/C later; do not factory every Indy hill on day one.	NA icons commonly associated: Aspen Snowmass, Alta, Snowbird, Jackson Hole, Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise, Mammoth, Palisades Tahoe, Revelstoke, Sugarbush, and peers. Overlaps Ikon on many mountains; editorial compare should stress day counts, blackouts, and who buys MC vs full Ikon. Non-NA partners exist; Ski Flock focuses US+CA roster narrative.
