 Poster: A snowHead

If you are planning to ski in the States next season check out your lift pass options now.
It is pretty much always cheaper to buy an early bird season pass than a one-week pass later.
I know this because I got caught out with it a few years ago!
Example:
a 2 week pass for Breckenridge over Christmas and New Year is currently priced at $1568. An Epic Local Pass season ticket is $579  You can do a lot with $1000 saved!!
There are various Epic pass options, check your dates and any restrictions. Cheapest prices before Sept 7th.

Is Epic local blacked out over New Year?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Dave of the Marmottes, In some resorts but not in Breck as far as I could see. Like I said, important to check the dates for your resort and buy the appropriate pass, still much cheaper even if restrictions mean you need a full Epic pass.

@Dave of the Marmottes, are you planning a trip stateside this year? I have been looking at Heavenly, have you been here?

1 Dunno yet
2 Yep - Got lots of skiing but don't really like the layout but there is loads of other places to choose from in Tahoe Basin
3 Main problem with Tahoe is rolling California drought they've had last few seasons. This year is supposed to be El Nino and things may change https://opensnow.com/dailysnow/tahoe

I like the idea of being able to go to north star and kirkwood on same season pass and I did have a quick look on map and saw a few other resorts in easy reach. I was reading a bit about El Niño so maybe it's a good year to go?

@speachmaus, I was at Heavenly in late January/early Feb, we bought the local Epic pass which was far better value than buying a two week pass (and had it in the past when we went to Breck). However, the vast majority of the Heavenly was closed due to lack of snow, but what was open was kept well maintained with snow cannons. We were quite happy with the skiing we had as OH was recovering from a knee injury, and we didn't want to hire a car to go to other resorts, but it is worth considering your options if you are heading out there. Fingers crossed El Nino will mean more snow this year - the temperature was in the high teens down by the lake

Thread necromancy from a year ago, but the same probably applies!
Also - and mostly - they've just announced the 'european partnerships' - http://www.snow.com/epic-pass/info/europe-is-epic#/4Vallees
I've already bought mine due to a move to Australia in January next year, thought it prudent to go via the states to check out SLC and Tahoe, and with Perisher 2017 on the list it made sense. But now it looks like I'll need to squeeze in a week in Bourg with a car?
