What is the EPIC Pass?
The EPIC Pass is a pre-purchase multi-resort day, multi-day up-to-season pass, with the number of days access and blackout dates depending on which pass you purchase. Think of it like a season pass, that you can use at multiple resorts and your level of mountain access is determined by the type of Epic pass you choose to purchase, which is outlined below. EPIC Passes are sold in limited quantities between March and early December each season and once the sales quota is reached each season, they will no longer be available to purchase – until the following season.
These EPIC Passes give you varying levels of access including Epic Mountain Rewards for Epic Pass holders at over 80+ resorts across the USA, Canada, Japan, Europe, and Australia.
