An Epic Deal

The season is not yet over, but Vail Resorts is already thinking of next year and is prepared to offer you an unprecedented, “epic” deal. Vail Resorts will be offering the Epic Season Pass, an unlimited and unrestricted (no blackout dates) season pass to Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-Basin and Heavenly for the initial price of $579 for adults and $279 for children. This means that over 18,000 acres of terrain could be all yours for the 2008-2009 season for an absurdly low price.

The Epic Season Pass was designed, according to Vail Resorts CEO Robert Katz, “to reward our most loyal guests and to bring greater excitement to the sports of skiing and snowboarding. Vail Resorts’ new Epic Season Pass gives our guests the opportunity to ski or ride when they want, how they want. They can visit for a week-long vacation during the holidays and then decide later in the season to return for an extended weekend getaway or even to book a last-minute trip after hearing about one of Colorado’s or Tahoe’s epic snowfalls. They can ski all day or just for an hour. In essence, we’re taking the thought out and putting more fun into a ski vacation.”

The one catch? The Epic Season Pass will only be available for purchase through November 15, 2008, and that’s hardly a catch if you ask us. Honestly, if you can’t commit to an epic season in the next eight months, than maybe you don’t deserve six mountains on the cheap.

No, you do. For more information on the Epic Season Pass and to purchase your slice of ’08-’09 powder heaven, visit www.epicpass.com.
