Transform Your Ski Season with Epic Pass and Friend Tickets

As winter approaches, ski enthusiasts are gearing up for a season of excitement, camaraderie, and pristine slopes. Notably, Keystone Resort has opened its doors, marking the beginning of the ski season in North America as of October 25. With this in mind, Vail Resorts is inviting winter sports lovers to embrace the spirit of friendship through their latest offering: the Epic Friend Tickets.

What Are Epic Friend Tickets?

Epic Friend Tickets provide a 50% discount on lift tickets, redeemable throughout the entire winter season. This new benefit allows Epic Pass holders to share the excitement of skiing with their friends and family, no matter when they decide to hit the slopes. It's a perfect way to ensure your friends can join in on the fun without worrying about the cost of lift tickets. Not only do these tickets encourage more time spent together on the slopes, but they also reinforce the ethos that friendship should have no boundaries—even on the mountain.

Exclusive Offers Await

As winter rolls in, Pass Holders can take advantage of a plethora of exclusive offers at various resorts. One such highlight is the buy-one-get-one drink deal available at select events. These collaborative offerings create an atmosphere of shared experiences and memories amongst friends. Each resort under the Vail Resorts umbrella, such as Whistler Blackcomb, Park City, Vail, and Breckenridge, has planned a series of events aimed at bringing together skiers and snowboarders for unforgettable moments this ski season.

Exciting Events to Enjoy

This December promises a thrilling lineup of events that unify professional sports and community spirit. The Stifel Birds of Prey Audi FIS World Cup at Beaver Creek showcases elite athletes as they race down the slopes, while Breckenridge will host the Rockstar Energy Open festival featuring thrilling snowboarding competitions combined with live music and art. For those who enjoy après-ski festivities, Heavenly's Toyota Air and Après will unveil breathtaking big-air stunts accompanied by energetic DJ sets.

The après-ski scene at Vail Mountain is set to reach new heights with pop-up performances from over 30 musicians at the base of Gondola One this winter. Headliners like Sofi Tukker will deliver electrifying sets alongside spontaneous live performances at breathtaking altitudes, ensuring that every visit to the mountain is filled with music and magic.

Cherish Winter Traditions

Vail Resorts embraces winter traditions, most notably through Breckenridge’s Ullr Fest. Celebrated annually, this vibrant event immortalizes the Norse god of snow, Ullr, complete with the world's largest shot ski! On February 28, Park City will host Winter Pride, an inclusive event inviting everyone to celebrate on and off the slopes alike. With various milestones, including Whistler Mountain’s 60th anniversary and Heavenly's 70th, these celebrations honor the long-standing legacy of skiing and riding in North America.

Learn, Bond, and Grow Together

Skiing presents not only thrilling fun but also opportunities for personal growth and bonding. This winter, participate in group lessons to learn new techniques while fostering friendly competition with your friends. Vail's connected Ski and Ride School introduces a new way for guests to track their progress through the My Epic app, which allows skiers and snowboarders to celebrate their achievements.

Culinary Experiences to Savor

Epic Pass holders can indulge in unique culinary experiences throughout their stay. Vail's new dining offerings, such as ‘The Two Martini Lunch’ at The 10th or ‘The Alpine Duet’ at Two Elk Biergarten, are designed to complement the Epic Friend experience. Guests can also join the Mountain Bites Tour at Park City, where they can traverse the mountain while stopping at distinct lodges for gatherings.
