Trip Discount

Epic and Ikon passes are on sale, and our club has exclusive group pricing through Sports America Tours (SAT). When you buy through our links, you also get an extra $20-$50 discount on a club trip run by SAT.

Both passes have added new destinations — Snowmass is back on the Ikon Base Pass and appears on our 2026-2027 trip schedule. Trip list released on May 1; FSC trips go on sale then, with other trip registration starting June 1 at 6pm.

Important notes:

  • Pass prices increase often and early so buy early to get the best deal.
  • Ikon no longer allows deferred passes, but an insurance option is available.
  • Some online renewal promotions don't apply to group passes—but buying through our link ensures the lowest price plus the trip discount.
  • A refundable option is available for a premium, and with a 1/1/2027 deadline

Bottom Line:
Buy your pass through our SAT links to get the best value and your club trip discount.
