This includes new high-speed lifts at Breckenridge, Keystone and Okemo, a 250-acre terrain expansion at Beaver Creek with the opening of McCoy Park, and a lift upgrade at Crested Butte. Additionally, Vail Resorts recently announced an unprecedented number of on-mountain projects planned for the 2022-23 North American ski and ride season designed to materially reduce wait times, increase uphill capacity and create more lift-served terrain. The sweeping set of 19 new chairlifts, including 12 high-speed lifts, a new 8-person high-speed gondola and 6 new fixed-grip lifts, is part of Vail Resorts'$320 million capital investment plan ? the company's largest single-year investment into the guest experience. Epic Pass products are still on sale with prices increasing November 21. Guests who traditionally buy lift tickets are encouraged to purchase an Epic Day Pass which offers savings of up to 65% off lift ticket window prices. With an Epic Day Pass, guests can purchase 1 to 7 days now and decide later when and which resorts they want to visit ? without concern of a day selling out. The Epic Day Pass is customizable with two levels of resort access and a choice to include holiday access or not. Prices for an Epic 1-Day Pass start as low as $91 to visit resorts like Vail and Beaver Creek, and as low as $70 to visit resorts like Keystone, Heavenly and Stowe. The price per day decreases as more days are purchased. Epic Day Passes are non-refundable, except as provided in Epic Coverage.
