Skiing is always better with a friend, and the Epic Pass wants to make that easier by introducing new discounted companion tickets.
The "Epic Friend Tickets" offer 50% off the price of lift tickets for companions during the 2025-26 season, according to Vail Resorts, which owns the Epic Pass. All 37 of Vail's North American resorts will accept the new friend tickets.
"If you ski or ride, chances are someone brought you into the sport, and we want to make it easier for you to pay it forward," Rob Katz, CEO of Vail Resorts, said in a statement shared with TPG.
