The Epic season ski pass – which offers access to Heavenly Mountain Resort, Northstar California and Kirkwood Mountain Resort – can be purchased for the early-season rate of $409 until Monday, Sept. 1.
“Our ability to deliver the best snow conditions is unique among Tahoe resorts,” said Bill Rock, senior vice president and chief operating officer for Northstar California. “Between Heavenly and Northstar’s snowmaking systems and Kirkwood’s well-deserved reputation for receiving the region’s most annual snowfall, pass holders can look forward to a great 2014-15 season.”
The EpicPass, Tahoe Local Pass and Tahoe Value Pass provide access to a combined 10,270 acres of skiable terrain and three unique resort experiences. Heavenly delivers a high-energy vibe, Northstar offers Tahoe’s luxury experience in a family-friendly atmosphere, and Kirkwood is known for its authentic, big-mountain ski and ride experience.
