For people who love skiing or snowboarding at Heavenly Mountain Resort, Northstar California and Kirkwood Mountain Resort, it’s that time of year to start considering next ski season with a purchase of the Epic Pass.
The Epic Pass and other derivations of it, provides access to Heavenly Mountain Resort, Northstar California and Kirkwood Mountain Resort. It has a starting price $409 with as little as $49 down and the balance due in the fall.
Skiers and riders have until April 13 to secure the 2014-15 season passes. The early prices come with six discounted single-day lift tickets, or “buddy” tickets, to ski with friends and family. They are only guaranteed through April 13, 2014.
“Our commitment to deliver the best snow conditions is unique among Tahoe resorts, and this year we’ve proven that to pass holders. We look forward to offering the region’s best ski and ride experience for 2014-15,” said Bill Rock, senior vice president and chief operating officer for Northstar California.
The EpicPass, Tahoe Local Pass and Tahoe Value Pass provide access to three premier resorts — Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood — with the combined 10,270 acres of skiable terrain and three unique resort experiences.
Heavenly features a high-energy vibe, Northstar offers a real luxury experience in a family-friendly atmosphere, and Kirkwood is known for its authentic, big-mountain ski and ride experience.
As additional incentive to purchase early, skiers and riders visiting the resorts this spring can turn in their day lift ticket and apply the value of that ticket toward the purchase of a season pass.
