Which Pass Should You Choose?
Choose Epic If...
You ski primarily in Colorado (Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone) or Utah (Park City). Best for those who want unlimited access at core Vail Resorts properties.
Choose Ikon If...
You prefer variety with Jackson Hole, Aspen, Big Sky, or Mammoth. Better for those who like independent-minded resorts and diverse terrain.
Consider Both If...
You're a frequent skier who travels to multiple destinations. Some skiers buy both for maximum flexibility across all major resorts.
