Once upon a time buying a season pass required enormous commitment. The pass was a de facto marker of ski and snowboard identity, staking your claim to a single mountain for an entire winter come powder or high pressure. These days, however, season passes are synonymous with flexibility and variety giving us more ways to chase The Greatest Snow on Earth® in all its distinct varieties throughout Utah. With a host of multi-mountain pass options available—including the Epic Pass, the Ikon Pass, the Mountain Collective and the Indy Pass— it’s never been easier and more affordable to sample the slopes. Read on to find out which one is right for you.
Epic Pass

Save a few hundred dollars with the Epic Local Pass, which still includes two days at Snowbasin and just a handful of holiday blackout restrictions at Park City. Everyone knows The Greatest Snow on Earth® is in Utah, but the Epic Pass provides access to 37 resorts owned and operated by Vail Resorts and 46 partner resorts for those who like to travel.
