THE WINDOW TO PURCHASE EPIC PASSES OR DISCOUNTED IKON PASSES FOR 2019-20 HAS PASSED.
Sales for the 2020-21 Ski Season will go on sale during Spring 2020.
IKON Pass

This pass gives students new opportunities to get out into some of North America's most iconic winter terrain. Gain access to Eldora, Steamboat, A-Basin, and over 20 other unique resorts with no blackout dates. DUAC will be offering these passes to students and skiers everywhere through spring and fall on campus and online (see below). Ikon is offering the base pass at a DISCOUNTED PRICE -- you must email us requesting a unique link to purchase this pass in order to take advantage of this super awesome deal!
Epic Pass

The Epic Pass Local is one of the more popular ski pass options for students at the University of Denver. At a relatively low rate, you can buy a ski pass that gives you unlimited access (except for blackout days) to Keystone and Breckenridge. Additionally, Epic Pass Local provides 10 days between Vail and Beaver Creek Resorts as well as access to several other ski resorts in the United States and abroad. You can buy the Epic Pass through DU Alpine Club. Epic Ski passes are sold on campus during the spring and fall & online (see below). Look out for the DU Alpine Club and ask about how to get your Epic Pass. Non-students (including parents) are also eligible to purchase passes through the club.
While there is no discount for purchasing through us, we would love the support by purchasing through the club in person or using the link provided on this page. Your support helps us continue to be able to sell passes directly to students instead of through non-DU representatives.
*Quick tip: Want to save some cash? If you are 18 years old or younger at the time of purchase, you can buy an Epic Local Teen Pass (cheaper than the college pass rate).
How to Purchase:
#1 Online (2020-2021 passes go live in Spring 2020)
#2 With an Alpine Club officer

Ski Bus

Wondering how to get to Epic Pass and Ikon Pass ski areas? Established in 2016 and debuted in Winter 2017, the DU Alpine Club offers transportation to nearby Colorado Epic Pass/Ikon Pass ski resorts during winter and early spring quarter. A charter bus will take you from campus to one of these resorts - we will rotate between the different Colorado Epic/Ikon resorts.
The cost for a seat on the bus is $10 for DUAC members/$15 for non-members, which covers your transportation to and from the ski resort. The charter bus leaves early in the morning (usually around 5:45am or 6:45am) and returns after a full day of skiing, leaving the slopes around 4:00pm. At least 1 DUAC Officer will be on the bus and at the resort to make sure everything runs smoothly.

- Students are responsible for their lift tickets (this is why getting a pass through DUAC is awesome), food, equipment, and any other needs.
- Registration for the ski bus is online (just like any other trip) and is first come, first serve.
- Popular locations (like Vail/Beaver Creek/Copper/Winter Park) typically fill quickly.
- No refunds or transfers of registrations will be permitted, regardless of reason. If you register for a ski bus trip and can no longer go, please help out your fellow classmates and email us so we can fill your seat with someone on the wait list so we have a full bus!
- Exception: Should a bus not run due to low registration numbers or we have to cancel a bus due to weather or other reasons beyond our control (things happens), a full refund will be provided.
