If you have been dragging your heels about buying your ticket to ride the mountains, Sunday 2nd of December is the last day you can do so. After Sunday, you can still purchase day tickets to Crested Butte. However, the sheer amount of skiing available to you on the EPIC pass makes it hard to beat.

The EPIC pass gives you unlimited, unrestricted access to Crested Butte, along with 18 other spectacular ski resorts in North America, 7 days at Telluride and 7 days at Resorts of the Canadian Rockies.

If you plan on skiing more than 5 days at any of these EPIC resorts, the pass will pay for itself. Every day after those first 5 days is just icing on the cake!

And the cherry on top? Crested Butte is experiencing one the best starts to the winter ski season in a long time. Current snowpack is 134% above average for this time of year. Its powder turns for days and there is more snow in the immediate forecast! 6 of the 15 lifts at Crested Butte are spinning, servicing 40% of the total terrain. For the beginning of December, this is amazing.

So it’s time to warm up your legs for the 2018 -2019 ski season because this will be one for the history books. You won’t want to miss it.
