Single Rooms:  Listed price is for double occupancy.  Add $1,390 for the single supplement if you want a room to yourself.

Lift Tickets:  Lift tickets are not included in the trip package, as Vail Resorts is no longer offering competitively priced group lift tickets.  Epic Passes, which must be individually purchased (not through the club), provide the best value.

Epic Passes:  Participants are encouraged to purchase an Epic Pass product of some type early-on.  The following options would cover your skiing for the trip; prices shown are as of March 2024 when 2024-25 pass sales began, but will increase in the ensuing months, and be unavailable after early December:

• A "full" Epic Pass ($982)
  
• Military Epic Pass – Active/Retired ($172); Veteran ($561)
  
• Epic Day Pass (the non-holiday-rate for a "32 Resort" pass)
  – ($376 for 5 days; $440 for 6 days)
• Epic Local Pass ($731)
• Tahoe Local Pass ($621) - 5 days total at The Rockies

You may purchase Epic Passes directly from Vail Resorts, but we suggest that you visit our Epic & Ikon Pass page to explore the various options available, including promotional offers from our tour operators.  They offer all except the military passes, which must be purchased directly from Vail Resorts.
