My Epic Gear memberships unlock access to over 60 of the most popular and latest ski and snowboard models, with free in-resort delivery or free daily slopeside pick-up and drop-off.  The membership experience, from gear selection to boot fit to personalized recommendations to delivery, is available at members’ fingertips in the My Epic app. Memberships are limited for the 2024/25 winter season and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

“Having the right gear is essential to the experience of every skier and rider. However, the traditional gear ownership and gear rental model has not changed in decades. My Epic Gear reimagines gear ownership and gear rental, providing more choices, lower costs, and no hassle. Travelers no longer have to haul their equipment cross-country; frequent skiers and riders can try the latest gear and get different gear for different conditions; and for kids, their gear grows with them.”

– Vail Resorts CEO Kirsten Lynch

My Epic Gear members can:

• You can access over 60 of the most popular and latest 2024/25 ski and snowboard models from 13 leading brands, including Salomon, Burton, and Rossignol.
• You can try a different ski or snowboard model any day—such as powder skis—and receive personalized gear recommendations based on your experience level, conditions, and the latest equipment choices.
• Select a favorite ski or snowboard model at the beginning of a season and, with a 7-day advanced reservation, get that model any day of the season, fully tuned.
• Include boots with personalized insoles and the latest BOA performance fit system – or bring their own boots.
• Choose free in-resort delivery or daily slopeside pick-up and drop-off to spend less time carrying gear and more time on the mountain.
• Manage the entire gear experience in the My Epic app, from gear selection to boot fit to delivery.
• Spend less than owning or renting premium gear.
