Epic Pass Holder Benefits

New this season, additional benefits of being an Epic Pass Holder will include access to Vail Resorts’ Mobile Pass on the new My Epic app. Guests will be able to store their pass directly on their phone, put their phone in their pocket, and get scanned, hands free via Bluetooth® Low Energy technology. More information on the app will be shared ahead of the season.
With Epic Mountain Rewards Pass Holders can also save 20 percent on lodging, ski and snowboard group lessons, ski and snowboard rentals, and on-mountain food and beverage.
Eligible Pass Holders have the ability to purchase six additional discounted lift tickets each season to share with friends and family. Ski With a Friend Tickets offer Pass Holders discounted single day lift tickets at greater savings than the standard advanced lift ticket discount.

2023/24 Season Access Details
Lift tickets will be limited every day, across every resort, during the 2023/24 season to preserve the guest experience for Pass Holders. Guests are encouraged to purchase their lift access in advance – whether that is a lift ticket online, season pass or Epic Day Pass. If tickets are sold out online, guests will not be able to purchase them at ticket windows. Lift ticket availability will be visible on resort websites starting this week.

Epic Passes, including Epic Day Pass, and Pass Holder benefit tickets will not be limited. There will also be no impact to guests who enroll in ski and snowboard lessons that include lift access, or to employee and dependent passes.

No resorts on the Epic Pass will require reservations, except for Telluride. Reservations will be available to book on the Epic Pass website.
