A Whistler Blackcomb 1-Day Pass will save
skiers and riders up to $196 CAD
compared to the cost of a 1-day lift ticket purchased in
resort
WHISTLER, BC, Nov. 18,
2024 /CNW/ -- Whistler Blackcomb announced an early
opening of November 21 on Blackcomb
Mountain, followed by Whistler Mountain on November 22, for the 2024/25 winter season. With
the season kicking off this week, skiers and riders have just
two weeks left to save up to 65% compared to lift ticket
prices before the Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass goes off sale for
the season. All Passes, including the Whistler Blackcomb EDGE
Card and Whistler Blackcomb Day Pass, are only available
until December 2. Passes provide
the best value for guests planning to ski or ride even just one day
this season.
The Whistler Blackcomb EDGE Card provides Canadian
and Washington State Residents
with access to Whistler Blackcomb for 2, 5 or 10 days. The Whistler
Blackcomb Day Pass provides value for any guest who plans to ski
and ride 1-10 days exclusively at Whistler Blackcomb. A Whistler
Blackcomb 1-Day Pass is $133 CAD,
providing up to $196 CAD savings
compared to the cost of purchasing a 1-day lift ticket in resort.
The price per day decreases the more days a guest plans to ski
or ride, up to ten days. Guests can decide later when to ski
and ride and have the option to add peak day access when building
their Pass for an additional charge.
All Epic Passes go off sale December
2 – including the full Epic Pass ($1,107 USD adult, $546
USD kids), Whistler Blackcomb EDGE Card (from
$86 CAD per day), plus the Whistler
Blackcomb Student Pass ($787

USD), and Passes to honor the Canadian Armed Forces
including active and retired Military and their dependents
($223 USD), as well as
Veterans and their dependents ($610
USD). New this season, skiers and riders visiting
Whistler Blackcomb can store their Pass on their phone and get
scanned hands-free at the lift with Mobile Pass on the My Epic
app.
Epic Passes also provide savings on other parts of the
experience at Whistler Blackcomb. Epic Pass Holders receive 20% off
on-mountain food and beverage, lodging, group ski and ride school
lessons, equipment rentals and more. Whistler Blackcomb Day Passes
and EDGE Cards also include exclusive perks.
Locking in a Pass now provides Pass Holders immediate savings on
lodging this winter. During the upcoming lodging Cyber
Sale, Pass Holders can save up to 30% on room rates
across Vail Resorts' portfolio of hotels and vacation rentals
conveniently located near the mountains. Pass Holders get the

book through December 3. Minimum
night stay requirements and other terms and conditions apply.

snowboards, and boots, delivered slopeside or to where guests are
staying in resort. My Epic Gear is available at Whistler Blackcomb,

City Mountain, Heavenly, Northstar, Stowe, Okemo, and Mount Snow.

app, the launch of the My Epic Gear membership program, and the
opening of the newly renovated Corona
Mountaintop Lodge in the Roundhouse (including a reimagined
