Epic Local Pass
Sub-$800 Multi-Resort Skiing with 10 Days at Colorado and BC Flagships
The Epic Local Pass is the single most popular pass product for Front Range Colorado skiers and cost-conscious destination travelers. By accepting peak holiday blackouts and a 10-day aggregate cap across Vail, Beaver Creek, and Whistler Blackcomb, skiers save nearly $270 compared to the full Epic Pass. Meanwhile, passholders retain completely unlimited, unrestricted access to Breckenridge, Keystone, Crested Butte, Stevens Pass, Mount Snow, Okemo, and the entire Midwest portfolio.
