Ikon vs Epic vs Mountain Collective

Multi-resort passes can save serious money if you ski five or more days per season. Here is how the three major passes compare.

Epic Pass

Owned by Vail Resorts, Epic covers 40+ resorts including Whistler Blackcomb, Vail, Park City, and Perisher (Australia). Best for skiers who frequent Vail Resorts properties or want European access at Verbier and other partners.

Ikon Pass

Covers 50+ resorts including Revelstoke, Tremblant, Jackson Hole, Chamonix, and Niseko. Ikon tends to feature more independent, character-driven resorts. Great for skiers who want global variety.

Mountain Collective

Offers 2 days at each of 25+ resorts including Aspen, Banff, and Big Sky. Best for skiers who like to sample different mountains rather than commit to one region.

Which Should You Buy?

List where you plan to ski, then check which pass covers those resorts. If you ski mostly at one resort, a season pass directly from that resort may be cheaper. Multi-resort passes shine when you travel to ski.
