Is Stowe on the Epic pass?
Yes, Stowe Mountain Resort is included on the Vail Epic Pass. This changed recently: as of 2023, Stowe was acquired by Vail Resorts and added to the Epic Pass portfolio. Epic Pass holders can ski at Stowe under the Epic brand. That means unlimited or a set number of days (depending on pass tier) at Stowe Mountain as part of the Epic Pass family.
Pass Options and Benefits
Epic Pass holders have access to Stowe just as they do other Epic resorts like Breckenridge or Vail. For example, the full Epic Pass includes unlimited Stowe access without blackout dates. The Epic Local Pass allows a set number of days at Stowe (often 5 days). This inclusion brings Stowe into a network of 40+ North American resorts, making it convenient for travelers who visit multiple mountains in one season. Epic lift tickets often cost less per day, so for frequent skiers it can be more affordable than buying day tickets at Stowe.
Planning Your Visit with Epic
For visitors, this means planning a trip to Stowe can be cheaper if they already own an Epic Pass. Non-Pass holders must buy separate lift tickets. It’s important to note that Ikon Pass holders can no longer use their passes at Stowe, as it switched alliances. Anyone interested should make sure they have the correct pass (Epic) before traveling. Booking lodging and rentals in advance is still wise, but lift access is simplified for Epic Pass customers.
Overall, being on the Epic Pass makes Stowe more accessible to many skiers. It may influence travelers to choose Stowe over other resorts if they already have Epic. Always check Vail/Epic pass terms each season, as partnerships can evolve. In short, yes, Stowe Mountain Resort is on the Epic Pass as of the latest season, which is great news for passholders planning their ski trips.
