Why Invest in a Ski Pass?
If you’re planning to hit the slopes for more than a few days, a ski pass can be a game-changer, both for your wallet and your experience. The Epic and Ikon passes offer access to some of North America’s most coveted ski resorts. Deciding between them? Think about the mountains you want to explore and when you plan to go, as each pass has its perks and restrictions.
Epic Pass Highlights
Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia
This Canadian ski mountain actually consists of two resorts, offering a ton of terrain variety and an outstanding ski school. Plus, it's just about two hours from Vancouver, making it relatively easy to reach from the US West Coast.
