go up after May 27: If you are looking for the best Epic
Pass deal for the 2024/25 season, now is the best time to lock it
in at the lowest price of the year. Skiers and riders have until

lodging, Whistler Blackcomb Heli Skiing, group ski and ride
lessons, equipment rentals and more. The Whistler Blackcomb
Unlimited Pass, as well as EDGE Card, have their own unique
benefits.
- May 27 is the last chance to

processed mid-September. Alternatively, eligible Pass Holders will
still have access to apply for easy monthly installments with Epic
FlexPay, powered by Uplift. Epic FlexPay includes zero down

25th anniversary season. The PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola opens
on June 15, signaling the official
start to the summer sightseeing season.
- Get on mountain easier than ever with Mobile
Pass: New next winter, Mobile Pass will be available at
Whistler Blackcomb. Mobile Pass allows skiers and riders to
skip the ticket window and buy their Pass online, then
activate and store it in the My Epic app on their phone, and scan
at the lifts hands free using Bluetooth ® Low Energy
technology. This also eliminates the need to wait for a Pass to
arrive in the mail and will help reduce plastic and RFID chip
waste.
- Receive two discounted Buddy Tickets for friends and family
and skip the lift ticket line: When you purchase your Epic
Pass by May 27, you will receive two
discounted Buddy Tickets** that offer up to 45% savings on
lift tickets to share with friends and family. New next season,
Epic Pass Holders and their Buddy can skip the lift ticket line to
redeem those tickets and head straight to the slopes. Simply
purchase the Buddy Ticket(s) on EpicPass.com, then let the My Epic
app and Mobile Pass do the rest. Epic Pass Holders must scan their
Pass first in a lift line, which will activate the Mobile Buddy
Ticket within the guest's My Epic app. Scan and go! Direct-to-Lift
access will be available at Whistler Blackcomb and across all Vail
Resorts' North American resorts for the 2024.25 winter season.
- Don't lug your gear, join My Epic Gear before memberships
sell out: If you lock in your Pass now, do the same with
your gear! New next season, My Epic Gear membership sales
are open for the 2024.25 season and available on a first-come,
first-served basis. Designed for the whole family across Whistler
Blackcomb and 11 other North American resorts, My Epic Gear
memberships eliminate the hassle of traveling to the mountain with
gear. Members unlock access to over 60 of the most popular and
latest ski and snowboard models, with the convenient choice of free
in-resort delivery or free daily slopeside pick-up and drop-off.
The entire membership experience, from gear selection to
personalized expert recommendations to delivery, is available at
members' fingertips in the My Epic app. Memberships are limited for
the 2024.25 winter season.
- Ski and ride Crans-Montana Mountain Resort in
Switzerland for the first time on
the Epic Pass: Epic Pass Holders have access to another
world-class mountain in the 2024.25 winter season at Crans-Montana
Mountain Resort in Switzerland,
