But that benefit has already been there for like 10years though, so there is nothing new.:

I don't see any line item with confirmation of qty of SWAF and buddy passes you get with each pass product. Does anybody see it?

Otherwise that is a change that they're starting to lock the network down from buddies

My wife and I have the Epic Veterans passes. All I had to do to qualify was to have served on active duty and have an Honorable discharge. My wife qualifiies for the same price as a dependent. The pass for next year is $569 plus tax. Not for all Epic areas but includes all that are owned and operated by Vail. This is a really good deal for an unrestricted pass. It even includes Whistler.

Thanks for reminding me about that program. Looked again at the FAQ page. As an USAF vet, thought about upgrading to that Military veteran pass before this season but was content to just get the $429 Senior Epic Tahoe Local. However this coming season am more likely to upgrade since that is just $120 more versus the same $449 price next year and just might do a Rockies road tour. Even if I don't go beyond Tahoe, that would allow me to ski KW and NS Saturdays and all 3 Tahoe resorts without any blackout dates. Something to consider before they jack prices up at the beginning of September.

Same here. We're looking into the Indy Pass. 2 Days at Troll, Powder Ridge, Spirit Mtn and Giants Ridge would be for some fun local skiing, plus you could do a weekend trip to Big Powderhorn and possibly Red Lodge on an extended weekend. That's 12 days of skiing for $17 per day. Insane.

We are also looking at Indy Pass for next season. Time to shake up our usual routine. Hoping he adds a few key areas, but at current prices, it's already a steal.

I haven't found any details for 20/21 yet, but I suspect they are just around the corner.

Yeah that pass doesn't even go on sale until Sept 1st... I'm thinking we may buy that and then a night pass to our local area.

 

[noncrazycanuck]

the 20% off has always been on my Whistler Senior Season pass, good for meals lodging tuning and new equipment.
it does add up in a season, even more when you put everything for others who don't have a discount on your card.
if i collect, have a pocket of cash at end of day - haven't needed an atm during ski season for years.

It is a great deal. Not as good as the one for active or retired, but still great. I am also a veteran (10 years in Naval Reserve) and have had the Liberty pass for two years. Only good at Keystone, but I also have had a Copper 4-pack.

The Keystone pass is a killer deal. I did volunteer ski patrol there in 1980-81

I haven't looked at all the fine print, but am wondering if Epic offers a spring deal where if you buy a pass for next season you get some kind of access in April this season. If so, they probably will hook me.

IIRC many years ago if you bought your pass late March or early April you could ski the rest of the current season. Also, about 5 years ago, if you had an Epic Local pass you could ski unlimited at Vail or BC in April until closing.

I was able to redeem Buddy passes this year online. Its much more convenient than the previous way of having to wait in the lift ticket line since most resorts have a line specifically for pre-purchase pick up.

I just got in my email a promo message for the sale notice. It had a banner saying 10buddy tickets for full epic. So I suppose the breakdown of the 16= 10 Buddy; 6 SWAF. Really hidden this year they didn't spell out how many you get.

You could also race around the world and get an EpicPass for life, or $100,000 for making a 30second "commercial" of why epicpass is awesome; or upto 100days of free lodging for a whole season at any Vailresort.

I think those days are long gone, lol.

In past years, getting the 10 buddy and 6 SWAF tickets came with the Epic Local as well as long as it was purchased/renewed early enough. I haven't read the fine print to see if that's changed.

Can’t see an option to buy a child ticket under the veterans ticket section.

Anybody know what exactly is the discounted cost of a “Buddy Ticket”. Or SWAF ticket has been?

I have access to 50%off tickets usually.....can Buddy tickets/SWAF beat that?
