The Magic Pass

I mentioned in the Europe 2024-25 thread that the Magic Pass -- which is basically made up of what Tony refers to as "James areas" (I've already skied at 19 of them) -- will be growing and they just announced a number of new mountains for 2025-26, in yellow below. I was surprised that the Gstaad group joined as it was being discussed as a takeover possibility for Vail or Alterra.

While the basic idea is similar to the U.S.'s Indy Pass, Magic Pass is better because you get unlimited days at the participating ski areas, including those with summer operations. You can't beat the price: approx. $450.

Do you know if the pass includes ski patrol/evacuation insurance for those places or do you have to do an add on? Just curious. Not entirely sure given how cheap it is why it's not just bundled in the price of lifts in Europe anyway...
