UPDATE: In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Epic Pass, Vail Resorts and Vail's founders from the 10th Mountain Division, the company is honoring epic service of the and men and women of the U.S. UPDATE: There have been many updates to Epic Pass announced in the past week and pricing is now out, so I wrote a new story with all the final details here. Both passes are available in premium and discounted, scaled down versions. The Epic Pass, which I wrote about in more detail last year, includes unlimited access to the 14 Vail Resorts mountains across the US, Canada, and Australia, plus Arapahoe Basin, 7-days at Colorado’s Telluride, and free days (not unlimited) at six massive European mega resorts in Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland, including stunning Val d'Isere, which I just reviewed, three of the world’s four largest and totaling about 30 different mountains. In yesterday’s piece on the new Ikon pass, I listed all the members and options in detail, but to recap, the pass covers 30 mountains at 26 resort destinations in the US and Canada, some unlimited and some not. Ultimately this will come to down to where you ski regularly when home, and where you want to ski on vacation. Skiers nationwide (and even overseas) now face a complex decision over which product to go with, Epic or Ikon. It used to be that only avid skiers living near a mountain bought a season pass, but now it makes economic sense for just about anyone who spends more than 5-6 days a season skiing, including home and ski vacations. ![]()
