• Merchant will be notified, via email, when approved, please allow 5 business days for approval.
• Reminder, merchants must visit a ticket office to purchase vouchers to give to their employees. These vouchers will take the place of charging each individual business as the employee visits the ticket office.

• Employee will visit the ticket office with the following:
  •  A prepaid voucher.
  • A paystub dated within 1 month OR 2024-2025 Merchant Pass Form C
• A few helpful hints:
  • If you do not plan to ski or ride on opening day, we recommend visiting our ticket offices after we are open for the season.
  • Visiting a ticket office location between 11:30-3:00 should provide the shortest wait times.

• A completed and signed Form C and photo ID are required at time of transfer
• A pass can only be transferred to the exact same pass, e.g. Epic Local to Epic Local. No upgrades available.

Merchant Pass Refunds

• All applicable refunds will be given to the merchant, not the pass holder.
• If there is a medical injury and the pass is unused, we can refund 100% or transfer that pass to another employee within the same business.
