In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Epic Pass, Vail Resorts is honoring the service of the Company's founders from the 10th Mountain Division, and men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, Canadian Armed Forces and Australian Defence Force, with the introduction of a $99 Military Epic Pass for active and retired military and their dependents, available beginning on Tuesday, March 6th.

Additionally, for every 2018-19 Vail Resorts Season Pass sold, the company will donate $1 to the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), a nonprofit organization that offers a variety of programs, services, and events for wounded veterans of the military. Based on 2017-18 pass sales, the donation would exceed $750,000.

"Vail Resorts’ pioneering spirit and our core value of serving others can be traced back to our founders, including Pete Seibert, who served in the U.S. Army's famed 10th Mountain Division during World War II, and Earl Eaton, who served as an army engineer during the war," said Rob Katz, Chief Executive Officer of Vail Resorts.
