New for the 2025/26 season, Epic Pass and Epic Adaptive Pass Holders will have expanded access to Verbier 4 Vallées, unlocking five days of consecutive, unrestricted access to Switzerland's largest ski area. The Epic Pass also includes unlimited, unrestricted access to iconic resorts like Vail Mountain, Breckenridge, Stevens Pass, Park City Mountain and Stowe, plus access to partner resorts like Telluride in Colorado; Rusutsu and Hakuba Valley in Japan; and more across Europe.

Whistler Blackcomb Continues Investment into the Guest Experience
Whistler Blackcomb has invested significantly in guest experience improvements in recent years, including three new lifts and a new gondola in just three seasons. The Jersey Cream Express upgrade, new for the 2024/25 season, represented Vail Resorts' latest investment into the guest experience at Whistler Blackcomb, following upgrades to Fitzsimmons Express (2023), Big Red Express (2022) and Creekside Gondola (2022).
These capital improvement projects are designed to help guests make the most out of every minute on the mountain by reducing lift line wait times, and providing more opportunity to learn new skills, explore new terrain and discover new peaks. Whistler Blackcomb will also be expanding its pilot parking program for the 2025/26 winter season in a continued effort to improve traffic flow and efficiency into and throughout the resort. Details will be announced in the coming weeks.
Other investments have included enhanced low-energy snowmaking and award-winning innovations such as Mobile Pass and My Epic Gear. Innovations and investments focused on speed-to-snow have contributed to a decrease in lift line wait times across Vail Resorts' mountain resorts year over year for the last three years. On average this season, lift lines lasting more than 10 minutes have occurred less than 3% of the time, including during weekends and holidays.
Additional investments in the guest experience are in store for the 2025/26 winter season and beyond including signature experiences and events at Whistler Blackcomb.Â
