Top 5 Perks of the Epic Pass

By Tony Cooper

They say you can’t buy happiness. Well, you CAN buy an Epic Pass. With 12 world-class resorts, 35,000 combined skiable acres, and unlimited skiing and riding all on one pass – it really is a no-brainer. Now’s the time to purchase yours and get ready for the upcoming season! Epic Passes are only on sale for a limited time, so buy yours now before they are gone for the season.

Did you know that the Epic Pass offers more than meets the eye? Check out the below for the top 5 perks of the Epic Pass:

1) Variety/Flexibility

This year, a huge number of customized passes are available depending on your winter plan. Of course, the grand daddy of them all, the Epic Pass, gives you unrestricted access to Breckenridge all season. It also gives you the ability to ski and ride at Vail, Beaver Creek, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, Kirkwood, Northstar California, Heavenly, Afton Alps, Mt. Brighton, Park City (now the largest ski resort in the United States), Perisher Resort in Australia, and up to 5 consecutive days in Verbier, Switzerland.

To figure out which pass suits your needs best, consult the Pass Finder.

2) EpicMix

All season pass holders can take advantage of EpicMix, the innovative application that tells guests how many vertical feet they’ve skied, displays pictures taken by our on-mountain photographers shares them directly with your social networks. If you’re new to EpicMix, make sure to check out EpicMix Racing and Guide. EpicMix Racing allows guests to compete on slalom courses and compare their time against Olympic gold-medalist Lindsey Vonn. EpicMix Guide allows you to create your perfect day on the mountain, automatically generating run recommendations based on the information you input (run difficulty, skiing ability, time on the mountain).

3) Epic Pass Club

Membership comes with great perks, including a free rental upgrade, a half price tune-up, free room upgrades (if available), and much more. If you “Flash Your Pass” at Ski Hill Grill in Breck after 2pm, you will receive 15% off food and soft drinks. Or visit Epic Mountain Gear in Frisco and receive a free bike safety check and 10% off your entire purchase!

4) Savings

If you’re planning to ski or ride more than 5 days next season, buying the Epic Pass will definitely save you money. An Epic Pass could easily pay for itself over the course of a one week vacation on the basis of lift tickets alone, not to mention the additional discounts available from the Epic Pass club.

Buddy Tickets are tickets at a flat discounted rate that are available to pass holders who purchased their 2015-2016 passes before 4/12/15.

5) Year-Round Fun

    Unsure about getting a pass next season? With the new Turn in your Ticket promotion, you can buy a ticket this year and turn it in towards the cost of a '13/'14 season pass. For that and 5 other perks of the Epic Pass, check this out :

      Summer Mountain bike lift access in Breck? How does the pass work for that?

      @Margaret, you bring your season pass to the Breck Summer Fun Park starting June 14, they scan it at the Colorado SuperChair, and you get free bike hauls up the chair!

    What am I getting next year for the over 20% increase in the price of my Epic Local pass? It seems that the price just rachets up every year with minimal extras provided to the front-range day skier. 🙁

      Hey Peter-
      In addition to Peak 6 for next season, we'll have plenty of food and beverage and event deals for season pass holders, etc. It's still a very competitive priced pass!

      The price is $100 higher than the Rocky Mountain Super Pass…

    Sorely disappointed again to report I was once again turned away and told that I had to purchase a single lift or day pass to take my bike up the CO chair/Gondola. It would certainly be nice to have the same communication shared through out the organization. My first day off in over a month and I was certainly looking forward to a day on the mountain. I'm such a champion of Breckenridge Mountain its a shame this kind of event happens.
