BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Aug. 1, 2019 – Monday, Sept. 2 is the last chance to receive the lowest price for the new Epic Day Pass and the entire suite of Epic Season Pass options, which now provides skiers and riders with incredible flexibility and unmatched value, whether they want to ski or ride just one day – or every day – of the season.
 
As a part of making 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% off of lift ticket window prices and as low as $106 for one day of skiing 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 Park City, Vail, Whistler Blackcomb and more. Those purchasing four or more days will also get access to Snowbasin, Sun Valley, Telluride and the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies.
 
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 $939, 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, Snowbasin 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, including Park City, starting at only $699, which includes two days each at Snowbasin and Sun Valley and up to ten days at Whistler Blackcomb, with holiday restrictions priced at only $699. For guests wanting to ski exclusively at Park City, and available to Utah residents only, the Park City 4-Pack offers four total days of access (with holiday restrictions) only for $359.
 
Vail Resorts continues to offer the best value in skiing and snowboarding for Utah families with the return of the Epic SchoolKids Utah Pack, providing free skiing for children, kindergarten through fifth grade, with no parent purchase required to participate. The Epic SchoolKids Utah Pack is a free program for Utah children that provides five days of skiing and riding at Park City, with no purchase necessary, that also includes one free first-timer ski or ride lesson with equipment rental.
 
Guests who purchase their season pass now can still take advantage of summer benefits including free scenic access all summer long with any eligible 2019-20 season pass at Park City. Additional benefits include summer food and beverage discounts and discounts on lodging.
