Earlier this week the Telluride Lodging Association requested some clarification on the EPIC PASS products that receive the access benefit in Telluride.

Here are the pertinent details to share with your guests as they're planning a visit:

For guests who are trying to do the math to find the most cost-effective options, here are links for Epic Pass, Telluride Season Pass and Lift Ticket Pricing:

This is an exciting alliance for the destination, but with new programs come many questions and potential confusion. I appreciate your help answering guest questions in an effort to minimize the guest services challenges in the ticket office this winter.
