New Hampshire Will Become Headquarters for Indy Pass and Parent Company
The next step in the Black Mountain resurgence is here.
Erik Mogensen has announced that he will buy out all early investors in Black Mountain and return the ski area to 100% private ownership. He will also permanently relocate the headquarters of Entabeni Systems to the Jackson, New Hampshire, site, as well as the headquarters for the Indy Pass.
Both entities currently operate out of Colorado.
“In the 18 months since purchasing Black Mountain, we have not only saved a beloved ski area but tested dozens of ideas to help independent mountains tackle the biggest challenges they face,” said Mogensen, who is the CEO of Entabeni Systems, which owns Indy Pass. “By basing our team here on the mountain, we can develop and test real solutions on the front lines that help the entire industry.”
The relocation will help the Mount Washington Valley with economic development. Black Mountain is already the largest employer in Jackson. The move will add 30 highly skilled positions to the region in software development, finance, marketing, and management.
“New Hampshire is the best place to ski in America and a beacon of economic opportunity,” said Gov. Kelly Ayotte. “It’s exciting to have Indy Pass and Entabeni Systems relocate to the Mount Washington Valley with the goal of making Black Mountain a hub for innovation in the ski industry. With our unmatched quality of life, beautiful outdoors, and welcoming environment for businesses, there is no better choice for companies looking to grow than New Hampshire.”
Mogensen has acted as general manager of Black Mountain since it was acquired in 2024, but will soon appoint an industry veteran to take over, according to a press release. Black Mountain is the oldest continuously operating ski area in New Hampshire.
“Black Mountain almost disappeared,” Mogensen said. “The last year showed how much this place matters to people. We are going to build on that energy and vibe and ensure this mountain not only survives but helps the entire independent ski industry thrive.”
