Guests can purchase their tickets online beginning December 8th and then either have them mailed to their home or pick them up once they are in resort. All lift tickets will only be sold online this year, which means tickets cannot be purchased at the ticket window.The amount of reservations may also be changed based on local government guidance. Guests who purchase an Epic Pass and choose their preferred days in November should have no problem with their preferred reservation days. If there is limited terrain, this will impact the number of reservations available. Although the resorts have not shared specific numbers, there will be very few days that will sell out for reservations.How many reservations does each resort allow each day? Because early season terrain can be limited, reservations will be limited based on the terrain available.

Yes, your ski school reservation serves as your ski day reservation.If I book ski school am I guaranteed a reservation?

Additional days can then be booked within 7 days of arrival for less busy time periods. During the early November reservation period make Priority Reservations for the 7 days that are most likely to be sold out, for instance Saturdays or days over holidays, when the mountain experiences higher demand.

Additional Week-of reservations can be made once your existing reservations are used. These days are in addition to the 7 preferred dates above. In addition, Epic Pass holders can reserve additional Week-of Reservations based on availability.These tickets serve as a “reservation” for your chosen date and resort. Tickets will be resort and date specific, so you will have to choose a specific resort and the dates you plan to ski. Beginning December 8th lift tickets will go on sale.For the most busy time periods we recommend that you purchase an Epic Pass product prior to November 6th. Up to 7 days can be reserved at one time for any resort for the “core dates” of December 8-April 4. For Epic Pass holders, Priority Reservations can be made on a first come, first served basis beginning on November 6th.How do I guarantee that I get those days?

Purchasing one of the Epic Pass products will ensure you have exclusive early season access through December 7th as no day lift tickets will be sold until December 8th.What ensures my best chance of reserving the day I wish to ski or ride? In order to operate the ski resorts in the safest manner possible and allow for physical distancing, the ski resorts will limit capacity on chair lifts and gondolas, as well as on-mountain dining facilities and other congregation areas.Why is Vail Resorts administering a reservation system?
