The pass allows unrestricted, unlimited access to all 6 Vail Resorts-owned mountains - Vail, Beaver Creek, Arapahoe Basin, Breckenridge, Keystone and Heavenly - and is only $619 (as of 9/8/10). We can't say it enough - this is a great deal! You can purchase or renew your pass right online at http://www.snow.com/epicpass/home.aspx.
