Vail Cuts Price of Australian Lift Passes – Kind Of
Published : 14-Aug-2024 06:18
Vail Resorts, which operates three of Australia's largest ski areas, has announced a new Epic Australia 4-Day Pass which essentially cuts the cost of a day pass to $138 AUD (approximately $69) if you ski all four.
Lift ticket prices vary at all Vail's resorts depending on when and how purchased but currently a one day adult ticket for the country's largest resort, Perisher, tomorrow August 15th is priced at $241 AUD (£125) if bought in resort.
Studies have shown Australian lift passes are normally among the most expensive in the world so the new $552 pass appears to offer, "unprecedented value for the occasional skier and snowboarder," as Vail put it.
Skiers and riders will need to commit to purchase up to 14 months ahead of their planned ski holiday though, as the price of the new pass will rise in coming months as with all of the company's Epic Pass products.
"Daily 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."
