Vail Resorts has announced the 2024/25 opening dates for resorts including Vail Mountain, Breckenridge, Park City Mountain, Whistler Blackcomb and more. This season, Vail Resorts also introduces ski gear membership – access to premium gear available slopeside through ‘My Epic Gear’ membership.
Visitors are able to lock in access to premium gear for only US$50 with My Epic Gear. The new platform means that it is no longer necessary for visitors to buy and haul equipment to and from ski resorts.
My Epic Gear is a first-of-its-kind membership that combines the luxury of owning high-quality gear and the convenience of a premium valet. Members unlock access to over 60 of the latest ski and snowboard models from 13 leading brands. The entire membership experience, from gear selection to free daily slopeside pick-up and drop-off, is available in the My Epic app.
Memberships are limited for the 2024/25 winter season, and available on a first-come, first-served basis. My Epic Gear is available for the whole family (ages 3 and up) across Vail Mountain, Whistler Blackcomb, Park City Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Crested Butte, Heavenly, Northstar, Stowe, Okemo and Mount Snow. Memberships cost US$50 for the 2024/25 season, with a US$55 daily use fee for adults and US$45 for kids (3-12).
In the lead up to the 2024/25 season, and to assist skiers and riders who start planning their snow holiday sooner, visitors can now lock in the best deals and experiences at iconic mountain resorts like Vail Mountain, Breckenridge, Park City Mountain, Whistler Blackcomb and more.
