Vail Ski Resorts Epic Season Pass – Best deal on season pass, getting the most from YOUR investment!

As the record setting snow of the 2007-08 ski and snowboard season slowly begin to melt, Vail Ski Resorts has a proverbial carrot to dangle in face of the avid skier, the Epic Season Pass. A new unlimited, unrestricted season pass for skiing and snowboarding, valid for the entire 2008-2009 ski and snowboard season, the Epic Season Pass will be valid at five of the top-rated resorts in the world: Vail, Beaver Creek , Breckenridge , Keystone and Heavenly Lake Tahoe . It is being offered to skiers and snowboarders at the initial price of only $579.


If you want UNLIMITED ACCESS for skiing and snowboarding at Vail and Beaver Creek , particularly over the dreaded holidays where daily lift tickets rates have soared to unprecedented rates over the past few years, this season pass could be the answer. And if you are worried where you will spend that Economic Stimulus Payment that is due next month, fret no more!

This past season, the walk-up, window rate for a day of skiing/snowboarding at these five resorts ranged from $50 in early season to close to $100 over the Christmas holiday for of an adult lift ticket with a five-day ticket at VAIL/BEAVER CREEK coming in at over $450.


So is it time for you to plan next season's ski vacation trip? THE answer is YES. In fact many are already planning where and when they will make those first tracks of the 2008-09 season and the Epic Season Pass is playing a big part. The savvy ski and snowboard traveler knows that early, mid and late season deals will make the investment in the Epic Season Pass cost effective. And for that hard core skier and snowboarder, who believes quantity is more important than quality, the possibility of 2, 3 or even 4 ski trips and ski vacations next season is justification for the purchase of an Epic Season Pass. Many are already checking their bank and frequent flyer accounts and planning trips to several of theses top destinations. For a mere $150 more than you would have paid for a 5-Day Vail Adult lift ticket last Christmas, you can have an Epic Season Pass and rack up more vertical feet on your altimeter than you ever thought possible in one ski and snowboard season.

Having the flexibility to ski and snowboard five major resorts is the key to making an Epic Season Pass work for you. It gives you the flexibility to determine where and when you want to ski or ride. If this weekends forecast calls for snow at the Tahoe ski and snowboard resort, you can be there with a great last minute deal, and ski or ride as much or as little as you want because you’ll have one less thing to buy. It’s time to take the thought out and putting more fun back into your winter vacation. The Epic Season Pass has all the key limitations and restrictions removed better tailoring it for YOU to have exceptional ski and snowboard experiences, all season long.

For years, Colorado skiers and snowboarders held a special place in their bank account each season for the renewal their treasured Colorado Pass. The HOLY GRAIL of season passes, the COLORADO PASS has offered enthusiasts unlimited skiing at 3 of Colorado’s major ski and snowboard resorts and 10 days, limited access at Vail and Beaver Creek for $439. When initially offered the pass was strictly a COLORADO RESIDENT ONLY perk as it had to be purchased at one of several designated local outlets. But soon savvy skiers and snowboarders found that they too could purchase this pass and would call the airlines to extend their late season trip dates just to purchase or renew their prize possession. Over the years, renewal has become a non-issue. But with the introduction of Epic Season Pass it will be interesting to see how many front range skiers and snowboarders are willing to test the waters. Will the lure of skiing in California be worth the trade off of their beloved A-Basin or will the Colorado Pass, like the Ski The Summit pass it replaced, be a distant memory and thing of the past? Visit us over the summer as we provide you with updates and feedback from pass holders and Summit County locals as they weigh in on what will certainly be a turning point in Colorado skiing!
