Vail Resort's unlimited ski pass still available

BROOMFIELD, Colo. - Vail Resorts continues to offer its Epic Pass, which provides purchasers with unlimited skiing over the 2010-11 season at five Colorado ski resorts (Arapahoe Basin, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail) and one at Lake Tahoe (Heavenly).

Cost is $599 for more than 18,000 acres of snow, and there are no blackout dates. At three cents an acre, that's a good deal for skiers and boarders planning several winter trips to Colorado or Tahoe.

New this year is an Epic 7-Pack pass, which allows seven unrestricted days at any of the six listed areas. At $449 for adults, that's less than $65 a day.

A Summit Pass good for unlimited and unrestricted skiing and riding throughout the season at Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge and Keystone is available for $409. A pass for Keystone and Arapahoe Basin only is $359.

All cards are available at 1-877-204-7881 or www .snow.com/epicpass/home through mid-November, but the above prices are guaranteed only through Labor Day.

Vail just purchased Northstar-at-Tahoe, so now the EpicPass is good there for this season as well. Now you can ski both Heavenly & Norhtstar on the same pass. See-> http://steepandeep.com/vail-buys-northstar-at-tahoe/
