[Update 9/15/2014: Vail Resorts bought Park City Mountain Resort and has added it to the Epic Pass for the 2014-2015 season. The graphic below does not reflect this late addition, but you can find an updated graphic here.]

In the 1990s and early 2000s, many large US resorts sold season passes for well over $1,000. However, during the last five to ten years, the multi-resort pass has come into vogue. This is a great deal for skiers and riders who can enjoy multiple mountains for well under $1,000. For us at OpenSnow.com, we like this because you can chase powder instead of being locked in to one mountain!

There are many multi-resort passes, and two of the most prominent are the Epic Pass by Vail Resorts ($749), and the Mountain Collective Pass spearheaded by Aspen ($389).

Below is a pretty cool info graphic detailing these two passes. Enjoy, and please leave your thoughts and questions about multi-resort passes in the comments below!
