MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 14, 2024 - The best time to plan for winter is now, and your checklist to prepare for the ski and ride season is here. Skiers and riders who start planning now will lock in the best deals and experiences when visiting their hometown hills in the Midwest, including Afton Alps, Wilmot, Mt. Brighton, and Boston Mills Brandywine.
Here's our pre-winter checklist to start preparing now for the 2024/25 ski and ride season:
✔️ Get caught up on what's coming next to the Midwest
Welcome to where it all begins - learning to carve first turns, race down a slalom course, or master a trick in the terrain park. A place to bring the kids and introduce them to the thrill of the mountain. Midwest resorts with proximity to large metro areas are the perfect place to welcome new guests into the sport. These hometown hills are where guests can learn to ski in a familiar environment and where the passion for skiing and riding blooms before venturing to other Epic Pass destinations from Vail Mountain to Breckenridge.
It starts right here in the Midwest, and this season we are excited to bring some welcome additions to our Midwest resorts to enhance the guest experience and heighten the fun:
✔️ Skip lift tickets, get an Epic Day Pass for as low as $44 per day if you buy now
Skiers and riders have until September 2 to purchase an Epic Pass before prices increase. Epic Passes offer significant pre-season savings compared to lift ticket prices and, whether you plan to ski or ride one day or every day, there is a Pass option for everyone.
View all Epic Passes on epicpass.com before prices rise September 2.
Epic Passes also provide savings on other parts of the in-resort experience. Passes come with Epic Mountain Rewards, which offer exclusive discounts including 20% off on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, group ski and ride lessons, equipment rentals and more -v all winter long.
✔️ Skip the ticket line, download My Epic app with Mobile Pass
Download the new My Epic app to use Mobile Pass this winter. Guests can buy their Pass online, activate and store it in the My Epic app, and scan their phone hands free at the lifts using low-energy Bluetooth® technology. Mobile Pass and Mobile Lift Tickets will be available at Vail Resorts' 37 North American resorts during the 2024/25 season.
My Epic app will also feature enhanced stats tracking, Find My Friends, interactive trail maps - and with Buddy and Ski With a Friend Tickets available in app, your guest can skip the ticket line and head straight to the lift with you.
