Did not expect Vail to actually make skiing cheaper for teenagers, but here we are.
Epic Pass just made this a lot easier for families with teens.
Teens ages 13 to 17 and young adults 18 to 30 now pay 20% LESS for a full Epic Pass or Epic Local Pass (compared to the adult rate).
Prices are set to climb again before sales close in November. I broke down every tier, what it actually covers, and whether the Day Pass or a season pass makes more sense for your crew.
Planning a family ski trip this winter? Here is how the Epic Pass works, what it costs for teens and young adults, and why buying now beats paying at the lift window.
