Vail Resorts is offering the industry’s best-selling season pass at $729 for adults and $379 for children (ages 5-12), but these prices are only guaranteed through Sept. 1, 2014.
 
“To me, ‘Epic’ looks like 28,830 skiable acres and 27,136 vertical feet spread across 11 mountains here in the U.S., and complimentary access to legendary mountains in three other countries,” said Kirsten Lynch, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of Vail Resorts.  “It looks like $500 million in investments at our mountains over the last five years, this season adding new chairs at Breckenridge and Beaver Creek, new dining facilities at Breck and Canyons, and innovative snowmaking expansions at Beaver Creek and Canyons. From a guest experience standpoint, no other pass or collection of tickets can match the value of the Epic Pass.”
