Getting your player ready...
Cutting through can be like negotiating a mogul field that hasn’t been groomed in a week, but this much is clear: Price increases for Epic and Ikon passes are coming soon.
Skiers who want to lock in the lowest prices for Epic Passes with a $49 down payment (with the balance due in the fall) must do the deal by Sunday. It’s also the deadline for a deal-sweetener that comes purchase of the pass by that date: 12 discounted tickets for family and friends.
Prices for all Ikon passes will increase $100 on May 1.
Current prices for the Epic and Ikon passes are $899. The Epic Local pass is priced at $669, and the Ikon Base pass is $599.
Here a comparison of the deals at the current prices:
