Military ski and snowboard discounts
Lift tickets, season passes and gear for military members, veterans and families, for the 2026/27 season. Most resort discounts are applied at the ticket window, so read the terms below before you drive up.
Before you go
- Season pass: the Epic Military Pass covers Whistler Blackcomb and every other resort Vail owns. You verify your service online when you buy it.
- Day tickets: most resort discounts are off full-price single-day tickets at the ticket window or Guest Services, not off online sale prices. Compare before you buy.
- Family: some resorts cover family only when they ski with the member (the Resorts of the Canadian Rockies, for example), and some don’t cover family at all.
- ID: resorts ask for different cards. Some take a CF One card, others want your NDI 20 or Veteran’s Service Card, so check each deal. More in Which ID do I show?
- Terms change every season. Some resorts only post their military rates once the season starts, so confirm before you go.
