Epic Ski Pass Prices To Increase For 2022-2023 Season

Although many ski-goers received a price reduction on their Epic ski passes last season, prices are set to hike back up next ski season.

According to Vail Resorts, the Epic Pass price will be increased by $50+, costing pass holders $841 for the upcoming 2022-2023 ski season; last season, the same pass cost $783.

In addition, the Epic Local Pass also will increase in price, going from $583 to $626.

Vail Resorts says that it will be investing $175 million in its employees. The investment will include:

• Increasing minimum wage to $20 per hour
• Raising hour wages an average of 30%

In addition to the employee investment, Vail Resorts said it will invest over $300 million in the mountain experience for next season by adding 21 new lifts across 14 resorts to reduce lift line wait times.

In a news release via the Vail Resorts website, Ryan Bennett, Chief Marketing Officer of Vail Resorts. said the following in regards to the investment:

“We will not waver in our commitment to continuously reinvest in the ski and ride experience with the goal of creating an Experience of a Lifetime for our Pass Holders,” Bennett said.

“We are making bold investments to ensure we have a fully staffed team of passionate, engaged employees and adding 21 new lifts across 14 of our resorts to help skiers and riders get up and around the mountains faster and easier. We are committed to providing an amazing value and experience to our Pass Holders.”
