PARK CITY, Utah — Park City Mountain owner Vail Resorts announced price changes for its 2022/23 Epic Pass products on Monday.

The staple Epic Pass will launch at $841, roughly a 7% price increase from this season.

The Epic Local Pass will start at $626.

All passes come with additional benefits, including:

• Buddy Tickets: Pass Holders who purchase early will receive 10 Buddy Tickets and six Ski with a Friend tickets to bring friends and family to join the ski and ride experience at a significant discount.
• Epic Mountain Rewards: Pass Holders receive 20 percent off on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, group ski and ride school lessons, equipment rentals, and more. Pass Holders also receive summer benefits at eligible resorts, including Summer Scenic Gondola rides, 20 percent off summer food, lodging, bike rentals, and golf.
• NEW – Epic FlexPay: Pass Holders now have access to easy monthly installments with Epic FlexPay, powered by Uplift. New for the 2022/23 season, the deferred payment option includes zero down payment, zero interest, and, if purchased early, zero payments until September.
• Epic Coverage: Passes are non-refundable except through Epic Coverage, which provides refunds for certain resort closures and personal events such as job loss, injury, or illness. Lift tickets are fully refundable but do not provide the value or flexibility of passes. Epic Coverage is provided at no additional cost, and Pass Holders should review the Epic Coverage Terms and Conditionshttps://www.epicpass.com/info/epic-coverage-terms-and-conditions.aspx.

Last week, the company said it would be starting employees at $20 per hour next season. The minimum wage at Vail currently starts at $15 per hour.

Starting next winter, the Eagle Lift at Park City Mountain will be re-aligned and upgraded from a 3-person lift to a 6-person lift. The Silverlode Lift is also being upgraded to an 8-person lift, increasing uphill capacity by 20%.

Park City Mountain Communications Manager Emily McDonald told TownLift that the Eagle Lift is back on schedule this week, “so guests can still enjoy the 3-person ride from the base area to runs like Temptation and Spiro before the lift is re-aligned and upgraded for next season.”

“Additionally, this past February, we announced that Scott’s Bowl at Park City has re-opened, and we are looking forward to enjoying the advanced terrain for a full season in 2022-23,” McDonald said.
