Last Chance to Grab an Epic Pass
Author thumbnail By M. Scott Smith, DCSki Editor

Vail Resorts offers a variety of Epic Passes - providing unlimited, multi-day, or single-day skiing at ski resorts across the country - but the opportunity to buy one of these passes will soon come to an end when they go off sale on December 2, 2024.

Vail Resorts owns eight ski areas in Pennsylvania: Liberty Mountain, Roundtop Mountain, Whitetail, Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Seven Springs, Laurel Mountain, and Hidden Valley. These resorts are included in several pass options, such as the Northeast Midweek and Value Passes, the Epic Local Pass, and the full Epic Pass. Additionally, the Epic Pass is available in Day Pass versions, which offer flexibility for one to seven days of skiing.

A one-day Epic Day Pass, valid at 22 resorts—including all of Vail’s Pennsylvania properties, as well as locations in the Midwest and select areas in the Northeast—costs $61 for a non-peak day or $71 for peak days (including as December 26–31, January 18, and February 15–16). The price per day decreases to around $48 for non-peak days when more days are added to the pass.

Once Epic Pass sales close, skiers will need to buy regular day lift tickets at the prevailing rates, which may vary based on demand and availability. Lift tickets may also be limited during busy periods. Importantly, day lift tickets will always cost more than an Epic Day Pass purchased in advance. For instance, a one-day Epic Day Pass for non-peak skiing at Whitetail costs $61 through December 2. After that date, a single-day lift ticket will start at approximately $99 if purchased online in advance and can go up to $128 during peak times if bought at the ticket window.

All Epic pass options can be explored at epicpass.com.
