Epic 1-Day Passes to world-class resorts like Vail Mountain can save skiers and riders up to $206 compared to a one-day lift ticket purchased in-resort.
BROOMFIELD, Colo., Nov. 18, 2024 / — With ski resorts like Vail and Breckenridge now open for the 2024-25 winter season and Whistler Blackcomb and Heavenly opening this week, skiers and riders have just two weeks left to save up to 65% compared to lift ticket prices before Epic Day Passes go off sale for the season. All Epic Passes, including Epic Day Passes, are only available until December 2, providing the best value for guests planning to ski or ride even just one day this season.
An Epic 1-Day Pass with access to world-class resorts like Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Park City Mountain, and Whistler Blackcomb is $123 for adults ($65 for kids), providing up to $206 savings compared to the cost of purchasing a 1-day lift ticket in resort. An Epic 1-Day Pass to Keystone and Crested Butte in Colorado; Heavenly, Northstar, and Kirkwood in Tahoe; and Stowe, Okemo, Mount Snow, and Hunter in the Northeast is $98 for adults ($48 for kids). For Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and New Hampshire resorts, an Epic 1-Day Pass is $61 for adults ($32 for kids).
With Epic Day Pass, the price per day decreases the more days a guest plans to ski or ride, up to seven days, with the option to choose which resorts they want to visit. Guests can also add peak day access when building their passes for an additional charge. All Pass Holders receive 20% off group ski and ride school lessons, on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, equipment rentals, and more with Epic Mountain Rewards.
“We know how important value and flexibility is to our guests as they plan for the winter ahead. That’s why we created the Epic Day Pass, so skiers and riders can build their own Pass at their favorite mountain resorts, lock in incredible savings compared to the cost of lift tickets, and then decide later when and where to ski and ride.”
– Courtney Goldstein, chief marketing officer for Vail Resorts
