Vail just bought Park City, UT and added it to the Epic Pass making the Epic Pass the best deal in skiing and riding. But, there are some other great deals out there you should know about. Depending on where you live, where you like to ski/ride, and how much you like to ski/ride, and how many frequent flier miles you have, there are some great pass options out there this winter.
Just remember to make your moves on these passes soon as prices will go up shortly.

here’s another deal that is just out. mammoth + june + big bear http://www.cali4niapass.com/
also rocky mountain super pass and intrawest pass.
Thanks MM, just got those in there. Great passes.
Miles: it takes you 20 minutes to drive from squaw to alpine?!?
How long would you say? I don’t even have a car… he he.
It’s about a 15 minute shuttle ride. And the resorts are connected by “skiable” terrain, just not by lifts. (“Skiable” during a season in which we actually have snow, of course.)
you forgot SilverStar in BC for the poweder alliance
Oops, my bad. Adding it now. thanks.
