#IKON VS EPIC PASS HOW TO#

In this post I’ll be giving insight on what to know, what to expect, what resorts are on each pass, the positives and negatives with each pass, as well as how to get the most out of your Epic or Ikon season pass:) I’m talking about the Epic and Ikon season passes that have revolutionized the ski industry and changed the game entirely.īuying a season pass, especially if your new to it, can be a lot of information at once. Now, one can access most resorts all over North America as well as select ones in Europe and Japan with a season pass around $1000. None-the-less it has been nice to venture out to new resorts and places that just five years ago would have cost the average skier an arm and a leg at the ticket window.

It’s the classic, never ending resort town saga of not wanting to “bite the hand that feeds you” while at the same time, hoping your once “local” resort isn’t going in the direction of being overrun by Corporate yahoos and the occasional self entitled tourist (If you’re reading this hopefully that isn’t you lol).įor someone who has had a season ski pass since junior high, I’ve never seen anything quite like it and it has been fascinating, yet sometimes agonizing to watch the acquisitions unfold. Once off the beaten path resorts as well as small mom and pop mountains are now drawing more and more crowds to their locations each year. If you have been a dedicated rider, vacationer, weekend warrior, or even just the 1-2 days/year skier or boarder, you’ve probably noticed some changes in how resorts are operating (other then COVID-19 Guidelines).Įach year, larger ski corporations are either buying up ski resorts or partnering with them in order to include more “iconic” resort destinations on their season pass options. Lift ticket prices continue to increase with no sign of stopping, gear has become more advanced, and resorts are changing the way they do business, especially in the Season Pass sector.

Over the past five plus years, the ski industry has seen numerous changes. Snowboarding and skiing are both inherently dangerous activities, assume all risk. Start small and work your way up in learning how to navigate the Mountain.
