"Vail Resorts is thrilled to bring back the Epic Australia Pass. Year-round access to the most iconic ski resorts in the U.S., including Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Park City, as well as the largest and most visited resort in Australia, Perisher, provides unprecedented value and experience for Australian skiers and snowboarders" said Peter Brulisauer, chief operating officer at Perisher. "Our commitment to Australian skiers and snowboarders is evident with the best value pass in the market."
A year-round ski pass, the Epic Australia Pass starts with the 2017 Perisher ski season and concludes with the 2017-2018 U.S. ski season. Passes are sold exclusively at www.epicaustraliapass.com.au and are on sale now.
"The Epic Australia Pass has been fantastic for us this year. My family gets to ski all winter in Perisher and are now planning our ski holiday to Colorado and maybe also Park City in January. Not having to buy lift passes in the U.S. makes it affordable. I can't wait to ski again this summer" said Perisher skier, Emma Frost.
