This was from 20/21 season!
I have been researching this question for years. There are many different ways to look at them but purchase a pass now. Lift tickets often account for 40% of a ski vacation planned at the last minute.
In my opinion, answer these couple of questions.
- Where do you live? - Pick the pass that has a local mountain.Tip "Ctrl - F" and enter your local Mountain resort
- How much do you want to travel? - Pick both and never miss a powder day (lodging discount on both)
- Will you take one trip? - Grab pre-season EPIC or IKON Day passes.
- Are you planning more than on trip? - Pick a pass and use our Concierge Service
It really boils down to where you want to ski, Full passes do come with discounted Friends and Family lift tickets so you can plan multiple trips, solo, family, and ski the heck out of your favorite ski mountain resort.
IKON Ski Pass comes with assurance if you decide not to use this upcoming season. Thats right don'e miss on $200 savings on renewals with IKON Assurance.
Just as the lifts go up and down, so do the window lift ticket prices. Protect yourself from those price swings. For a family vacation next year, you can lock in this variable with EPIC or IKON Day pass. When I first moved to Vail Valley I was shocked at around $165 for a single adult day lift ticket. They do have differing limited days but with so many options on locations it is a great option.
With ski vacations price VS value becomes a great part of the decision. With the dramatic increase in window lift prices every year a season pass will quickly pay for itself. EPIC and IKON both offer discounts for your friends and family.
What is your local Mountain Resort? How much travel do you expect to do and where do you want to go? Are you a powder chaser? - Purchase both and never miss a powder day.
