Vail Resorts, Inc. stuck a deal that  lets holders of its  Vail Resorts Epic Pass to use it at Las Lenas Resort in Argentina when staying at select hotel properties in Las Lenas.


“We wanted to give Epic Pass holders even more benefits by offering an opportunity to ski and ride year round,” said Heidi Kercher-Pratt, vice president and chief marketing officer for Vail Resorts. “We are thrilled to work with Las Lenas, a legendary resort in Argentina, to give Epic Pass holders the chance to have an endless ski and ride season.”


Now in its third season, the Epic Pass provides unlimited, unrestricted access to six world-class resorts including Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Heavenly, as well as Arapahoe Basin for a price of $599 adult and $299 child (ages 5 to 12). The pass has enabled Vail to generate more sales earlier in the season and capture more close-to-resort business during one of the toughest economic climates in decades. 


Now, all Epic Pass holders can receive free and unrestricted skiing from June through October of 2010 and 2011 at Las Lenas during their stay at a qualifying Las Lenas hotel. Vail said it was guaranteeing prices on the Epic Pass through May 31, 2010 and allowing purchasers to put $49 down now with the remainder due in mid-September.

To celebrate our new partnership, Vail Resorts is giving away a trip for two to Las Lenas.


In addition to the free skiing offer at Las Lenas, Epic Pass and all Vail Resorts season pass purchasers will continue to receive exclusive offers on lodging, dining, ski rentals, equipment, ski school and special events for the 2010-2011 ski and snowboard season at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Heavenly and Arapahoe Basin. New this year, skiers and snowboarders who purchase their pass this spring will also receive special benefits for this summer 2010 including access for sightseeing and gondola rides. Formerly, summer benefits were granted for the summer following our ski seasons. All season pass products are non-transferable and non-refundable.
