Update - October 9, 2026
The new prices were revealed by Vail Resorts this morning. For adults, the Epic Pass increased $24 to $1,169, which is less than we expected. The Epic Local Pass increased $20 to $869, which matched our price prediction.

Vail Resorts has announced prices for its 2026/27 Epic Pass products will increase after October 7, 2026. Historical trends suggest the price of an adult Epic Pass will likely rise $30 to $1,175, and an adult Epic Local Pass will go up $20 to $869.

These estimates are based on an analysis of past trends showing that, for each of the last three seasons, Vail Resorts has increased Epic Pass prices in October by the same amount as it did in May of the same year.

The price adjustment aligns with Vail Resorts’ typical early-to-mid-October increase ahead of the winter season. Based on previous years, a final price change is likely in mid-November, before pass sales close in early December.

Note: Vail Resorts tends to provide at least a 24-hour grace period after its announced deadlines before increasing prices. So, if you miss the published deadline, you may still have a short window to buy at the lower price.
