11 MAY IS THE LAST CHANCE TO LOCK IN THE 2021 EPIC AUSTRALIA PASS BEFORE THE PRICE RISES BY $100
Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham are set to open for the winter season on 12 June
BROOMFIELD, Colo. – 15 April, 2021 – With winter right around the corner, now is the best time to secure the 2021 Epic Australia Pass before the price rises by $100 on 11 May. The Epic Australia Pass provides access to Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham for AU$949 for adults, AU$539 for students (5 to 17 years old) and AU$739 for seniors (65 years and over), with no mountain access reservations anticipated. Opening day for the 2021 season at all three Australian resorts is currently set for 12 June. Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham anticipate offering a full range of lift tickets, snowsports school and rental products for the 2021 season, available for purchase from late May.
“Through careful planning, in accordance with public health protocols, we are confident we can safely operate all three Australian resorts, all season long,” said Pete Brulisauer, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Vail Resorts Australia. “We do not anticipate requiring mountain access reservations this season, but should capacity restrictions change, we will adapt our systems and update our guests.”
Winter Experience
This season, cleaning and safety protocols will be in place to protect guests, our communities and employees consistent with public health requirements. Guests should expect to purchase products on-line and in advance, use QR check-in codes at indoor venues, and be strongly encouraged to wear face coverings, physically distance and adopt good hygiene measures in the resorts. As winter approaches, further information will be shared about our operating plans as public health advice evolves.
