There’s those of us who want nothing more than to escape the snow and the other half who can’t wait for the powder to blanket the slopes. For the half that eagerly awaits the fluffy white stuff, especially if that’s to ski or snowboard, we need to introduce to you to the best season ski pass out there.
The Epic Pass (and yes it’s earned its name), gives skiers and riders unlimited access to 12 mountain resorts — Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Park City, Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood, Afton Alps, Mt. Brighton, Arapahoe Basin, and new this year Perisher in Australia. There’s another bonus to this pass too, which is up to 5 consecutive days of skiing or riding at Verbier, Switzerland.
Though it may be intimidating to shell it all out upfront, it’s actually smarter to do it now, since it will pay for itself in just under 5 visits. Not to mention there are no blackout dates, meaning you can get some runs in during the holidays and March break no problem.
The cost for an adult pass is $809US and $409US for a child — but is only available until November 22, 2015. While the Epic Pass is the ultimate for ski lovers, there are other pass options available too including a Epic Local Pass, Epic 7-Day and Epic 4-Day, so you can choose something that’s right for you.
