With the sales window now closed, Vail Resorts officials on Monday said the company sold 2% fewer pre-purchased lift passes than last year, but the total sales dollars on those passes was 4% higher

Vail Resorts said Epic Pass sales declined slightly this winter. However, pass revenue is still up thanks to a price increase.

Vail Resorts surpasses expectations in its Q1 2025 earnings release, despite continuing challenges in certain geographic regions.

Broomfield-based ski resort company Vail Resorts has reported a net third-quarter loss of $172.8 million and a rare decline in Epic pass purchases. Vail Resorts owns and operates 42 ski resorts in four countries, including Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Crested Butte in Colorado.

Vail Resorts sold fewer passes to its ski areas in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 but brought in 4% more in revenues from pass sales.

A lack of snow early in the season last year across much of the U.S., including in Colorado, kept people away from the mountains.

According to Vail Resorts, the Epic Pass is seeing a rare decline, having sold a few thousand less than usual.
