THINK TWICE IF

You have not decided where or when you will ski

01 / THE BRAND

What it’s all about.

Epic is a ski access program with multiple pass products. Full Epic, Epic Local and Epic Day Pass differ in resort coverage, restricted dates and permitted days. This is a lift access purchase rather than a complete ski vacation.

01

Full season and selected resort access products

02

Epic Day Pass for one to seven days

03

Eligible Epic Mountain Rewards benefits

02 / WHAT IT COSTS

2026/27 examples: $1,169 / $869 / $481

Official destination results display Epic Pass at $1,169 and Epic Local at $869 for adults 31+, plus a selected four day Epic Day Pass at $481 for adults 13+. Prices can rise and configurations change. These are pass prices, not lodging or equipment totals.

Prices in US dollars unless stated otherwise. Starting prices and historical examples are not live offers. Select your dates, guest ages and travel product, then compare the final total and cancellation terms.

05 / THE SHOPFEST VERDICT

Is it worth your trip?

Start with your resort and real skiing days, then choose the least expensive eligible product. A family skiing a few days at nearby mountains should compare those exact options before buying broad destination access.
