If someone just wants to sample selected Epic ski areas/resorts or meet up with friends for a day there are new options for the Epic Day Pass (1-7 days). For 22 of the locations, it's possible to buy an Epic Day Pass for one day for $44 non-holiday. That list excludes all Western resorts, plus the three Vermont mountains and Hunter so only for the small hills in the midwest and PA. For another $28 that covers 32 locations, could pay $72 for one day at Stowe, Okemo, Sunapee, Hunter, plus Tahoe, Keystone, Crested Butte, or Stevens Pass.
The Epic Day Pass for All Locations, 22 locations, or 32 locations can cover 1-7 days, non-holiday or holiday for addition money. Since the cost per day goes down as the number of days goes up, it would be possible to get 5 days at the Vermont Epic resorts for $65/day, non-holiday. Or someone who lives in NY/NJ/New England might consider having Ikon plus a few days on an Epic Day Pass to ski VT or Hunter plus a few days at Keystone or in Tahoe. Or someone within driving distance of Stevens Pass might want to combine a few days there with Tahoe.
