#TAHOE EPIC PASS PLUS#

The top-tier Epic Pass gives skiers the tried and true “unlimited, unrestricted” skiing at 37 ski resorts, from Northstar in Tahoe to Whistler in British Columbia to Stowe in Vermont, plus a handful of days at a smattering of resorts in Japan and Europe. “This bold price reset doubles down on that strategy.”

“For over a decade, we have been on a journey to provide incredible value to our pass holders in exchange for a commitment ahead of the season, which creates stability not only for our company, but for our Tahoe community,” said Deirdra Walsh, Northstar vice president and general manager, in an emailed statement to SFGATE. The Epic Pass is designed this way, asking skiers to commit to their resorts for the entire winter. With single-day lift tickets to Northstar and Heavenly costing upwards of $160, you can pay off your season pass by skiing less than three days. The price cut really is a great deal for a sport as notoriously expensive as skiing. Vail - the behemoth corporation on Wall Street (their stock symbol is MTN) that owns 37 ski resorts worldwide and single-handedly changed the ski industry when it launched the Epic Pass in 2008 - announced this week that it is slashing the prices on all of its season passes, dropping the dollar figures by 20% compared with last year. And this year’s prices do not disappoint, at least for some ski resorts.
