Vail Resorts Announces New Epic Australia 4-Day Pass for 2025 Winter Season

14 August, 2024

Vail Resorts is committed to making skiing and riding more accessible across Australia. That’s why today, we've launched a new product to access all three Vail Resorts' mountains in Australia next snow season: the Epic Australia 4-Day Pass, which provides up to 40% savings compared to lift ticket pricing.*

All 2025 Passes are on sale today for the lowest price of the year, including Australia’s best-value season-long pass, the Epic Australia Pass, which includes access to local and premier resorts worldwide.

The new Epic Australia 4-Day Pass provides unprecedented flexibility and value for the occasional skier and snowboarder. For just $138 per day, the Epic Australia 4-Day Pass provides four days combined lift access that can be used non-consecutively any day of the season across Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham beginning winter 2025. Lock in the savings now – and decide later when and where to ski and ride next winter.

“Lift tickets are no longer the only option for the occasional skier and rider,” said Jody Churich, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Vail Resorts. “When Vail Resorts launched the Epic Australia Pass ten years ago in 2015, it unlocked unlimited access to Australia’s best resorts, plus access to premier ski destinations around the world, at an incredible value. And now, we are excited to bring that value to our guests who only want to ski and ride four days next season at Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham. We are fully committed to growing the sports of skiing and snowboarding and look forward to welcoming Pass Holders to our Australian resorts next winter.”

All Passes offer significant savings to guests in exchange for their loyalty and pre-season commitment. Passes are non-refundable and only available to purchase ahead of the 2025 snow season.

Also new for the 2025 snow season, a 6-person, high-speed chairlift (‘the Mt Perisher 6’) will open. This new high-speed 6-person chairlift will reclaim Perisher’s title of having the highest lifted point in Australia at 2,042m, support resort capacity and assist to redistribute skiers across Perisher’s network of 46 lifts across four resort areas to reduce general lift wait times and improve flow and circulation.
