Sunday, Nov. 24 is the last chance to purchase the Epic Pass, the new Epic Day Pass and the entire suite of Epic Pass options for the 2019-20 winter season. The Epic Pass continues to provide the greatest value in skiing and snowboarding, offering unlimited unrestricted access to world-class resorts including Vail, Whistler Blackcomb, Park City and more, while also including limited access to incredible destinations around the world including Telluride, Sun Valley, Snowbasin, Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, Hakuba Valley Japan, Verbier, Courchevel, and more. Partner access to Sun Valley, Snowbasin and Rusutsu Resort in Japan is new for the 2019-20 season.
Thanks to incredible early season conditions and significant snowmaking investments, Epic Pass holders have access to more days on the mountain than ever before. With Keystone opening early and Breckenridge planning to stay open until Memorial Day, season pass holders can enjoy one of the longest ski seasons in the country. This summer, Keystone made significant investments into snowmaking, installing a new state-of-the-art, automated snowmaking system that allows the resort to operate more efficiently and productively during the early season, bringing forward opening day by up to three weeks. Vail’s snowmaking expansion – the largest in resort history – will help ensure a pre-Thanksgiving opening each year.
As a part of Epic for Everyone, Vail Resorts announced earlier this year that it would extend the same value and flexibility to all skiers and riders that was traditionally available only to season pass holders. With the introduction of the Epic Day Pass, a customizable pass for skiers and riders who may not need the unlimited access offered by traditional season passes, skiing and riding is more accessible and affordable than ever, with discounts up to 50% as compared to lift ticket window prices, allowing guests to ski from as low as $95 per day at any of the Company’s North American resorts. Guests can lower their cost per day by adding more days and selecting the number of days they plan to ski or ride – from one day to seven days – and whether or not to add holiday access. Guests can use their Epic Day Pass throughout the season at any of the Company’s North American owned resorts, including Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Whistler Blackcomb, Keystone, Crested Butte, Park City, and more. Those purchasing Epic Day Passes for four or more days will also get access to Telluride, Sun Valley, Snowbasin, and the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies as a portion of their total days purchased.
For guests looking to ski more days in a season, the Epic Pass continues to offer the best access at the best price with unlimited, unrestricted access to all of the Company’s owned resorts for only $989, with additional partner access at Telluride, Hakuba Valley, Verbier, Courchevel, and the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies. New for the 2019-20 season, the Epic Pass also includes partner access to Sun Valley in Idaho, Snowbasin in Utah and Rusutsu Resort in Japan. For skiers and riders willing to navigate around a few peak dates, the Epic Local Pass offers an incredible value with access to many of the same destinations for only $739, including unlimited, unrestricted access to Breckenridge, Keystone and more, plus ten combined days at Vail, Whistler Blackcomb, and Beaver Creek, with holiday restrictions, and two days each at Snowbasin and Sun Valley.
Vail Resorts has also closed on its acquisition of Peak Resorts, which adds 17 U.S. ski areas to its global network of world-class resorts providing unlimited, unrestricted access on the Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass and Military Epic Pass, plus any number of days on the Epic Day Pass. Located near major metropolitan areas, including New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, the resorts include Mount Snow in Vermont; Hunter Mountain in New York; Attitash Mountain Resort, Wildcat Mountain and Crotched Mountain in New Hampshire; Liberty Mountain Resort, Roundtop Mountain Resort, Whitetail Resort, Jack Frost and Big Boulder in Pennsylvania; Alpine Valley, Boston Mills, Brandywine and Mad River Mountain in Ohio; Hidden Valley and Snow Creek in Missouri; and Paoli Peaks in Indiana. For the 2019-20 season, Vail Resorts will honor and continue to sell all Peak Resorts pass products, and Peak Resorts’ pass holders will have the option to upgrade to an Epic Pass or Epic Local Pass. The deadline for Peaks Resorts’ pass holders to upgrade is Sunday, November 17.
New for the 2019-20 season, pass holders can take advantage of a new online redemption for Buddy Tickets and Ski With A Friend (SWAF) tickets, allowing you to spend more time on the mountain with friends and family. Pass holders will be able to purchase Buddy/SWAF Tickets online, send to family and friends, allowing all guests to proceed directly to the Express ticket window at the resort for pick up. Access up-to-date Buddy/SWAF Ticket information online at epicpass.com.
