May SKI.com Epic and Ikon pass deals
EISC Members, SKI.com is offering a deal on Epic and Ikon passes. However, if you are planning to go on the EISC ski trips, the Epic pass may have the best options. We announced the 2 West trips for 2022. Feb 5-12 the EISC will be in Breckenridge, CO. The Epic Local, Epic Summit or Epic Day passes will work at Breckenridge. Mar 5-12 the EISC will be at Zermatt, Utah – a Swiss village in the Heber Valley. There are free daily shuttles to Deer Valley, Sundance and Park City. The Epic Local or Epic Day passes will work at Park City. Deer Valley is an Ikon pass resort and Sundance is independent. The Epic Full, Local or Summit base passes are on sale 20% lower than last season. If these passes are purchased using the SKI.com link and used on an EISC trip, there will be an additional $30 credit from SKI.com.
The cost of the EPIC Local Pass is $583. It is unlimited skiing at 26 destinations including Breckenridge, Keystone & Crested Butte / Holiday blackout day skiing at Park City, (not during the EISC trip), Heavenly, Northstar, Kirkwood / 10 days w/ holiday blackout date skiing at Vail, Beaver Creek, Whistler Blackcomb.
The cost of the Summit Value pass is $471. It is unlimited skiing at Keystone and holiday blackout date skiing at Breckenridge only. The Epic Day passes offers restricted and unrestricted access to most Epic resorts – the restricted access would not affect the EISC trips. The cost of the restricted Epic Day pass is Epic 1-Day Restricted Pass Adult: $87 / Epic 2-Day Restricted Pass Adult: $171 / Epic 3-Day Restricted Pass Adult: $249 / Epic 4-Day Restricted Pass Adult: $323 / Epic 5-Day Restricted Pass Adult: $392
Please read the pass details and all restrictions carefully before purchasing any type of pass. The SKI.com link makes it pretty easy to buy any of the Epic passes. It is much less than daily lift tickets and a better deal for our members for this year. Please see your Trip Leader if you need any assistance. https://epicikon.events.ski.com/
For cost comparison – the group lift ticket prices at Breckenridge are priced very high. Epic is incentivizing people to buy the Epic passes. Group lift ticket prices are below:
4 day $556
5 day $660
6 day $750
No senior lift tickets at Breckenridge. Plus 4% lift ticket tax.
The restricted Epic Day passes are best if you are not buying the Epic Local or Summit passes. If you are planning on going on both trips or doing any additional skiing the Epic Local pass may make the most sense.
