Calling all powder hounds and weekend warriors: Vail Resorts just dropped a game-changing lift ticket hack that’ll make your ski squad’s dreams come true.

Starting this winter, Epic Pass holders are getting a serious social boost with their new “Epic Friend Tickets” program. Translation? You can now bring your crew to the mountain for half-price, making those legendary ski days way more accessible.

The Friend Discount That Keeps on Giving

Here’s the deal: If you snag your Epic Pass before April 14, 2025, you’ll score 10 Epic Friend Tickets. Purchase after that date, and you’ll still get a solid 6 tickets. These aren’t your grandpa’s buddy passes, we’re talking 50% off lift tickets at ALL 37 of Vail’s North American resorts, including local favorites like Heavenly, Kirkwood, and Northstar.

More Than Just a Ticket

Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz isn’t just talking about selling passes, he’s trying to reignite the community spirit of skiing. “Skiers know this sport is magic,” he says. And he’s right. These tickets aren’t just about discounts; they’re about creating those epic mountain memories with your closest friends.

The Fine Print (That Doesn’t Suck)

Better yet, whatever your friends pay for their discounted ticket can be applied as a credit towards next season’s Epic Pass. It’s basically free money for future mountain adventures. Pro tip: Activate these tickets through the My Epic app, and make sure the pass holder scans in first.

Whether you’re a local shredder or a weekend warrior, this is your chance to expand your ski tribe without breaking the bank. Time to start planning those group ski trips and making some serious mountain memories.
