Epic Expansion: Sölden Joins Vail Resorts, Inc. (MTN)' Global Ski Portfolio
Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:MTN) has announced adding Austria's Sölden to its growing European network just ahead of the May 26 deadline for securing the 2025/26 Epic Pass at the year's lowest price. An aerial view of a mountain resort, its snow-capped peaks and lush ski slopes revealed in all their glory. Sölden joins five other Austrian destinations, including Mayrhofen and Silvretta Montafon, thus expanding Epic Pass access to 34 ski areas across Europe. Guests can purchase the Epic Pass now ($1,051 USD for adults) and gain five days at Sölden, with extra incentives such as two Buddy Tickets and six Ski With a Friend Tickets. With Sölden, the company has elevated the product's appeal and could potentially attract more international skiers. Bill Rock, President of Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:MTN)' Mountain Division, made the following comment: "Sölden is a bucket-list resort that we are thrilled to add to the Epic Pass. In addition to the amazing skiing and riding, it also contains experiences that don't exist anywhere else like the 007 ELEMENTS Bond experience and the Aqua Dome." The new positive outlook from Sölden comes amid internal shifts. Courtney K. Goldstein stepped down as Executive VP & Chief Marketing Officer on May 16, 2025. Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE:MTN) described the move as personal and unrelated to company direction. Meanwhile, the downgraded price target from $185 to $160 continues to stand, with the BofA maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock.

BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 25, 2025 /CNW/ -- With only one day ahead of the May 26 deadline to buy an Epic Pass for the lowest price of the year, Vail Resorts announced that Austrian skiing and snowboarding will be even more Epic with Sölden joining the 2025/26 Epic Pass lineup. Located in the Ötztal Valley in Tyrol less than 84 km from Innsbruck Airport, Sölden is famous for its premium skiing on a seamlessly connected glacier and mountain ski area. Offering reliable snow from autumn through spring, thanks to its high-altitude terrain, two glaciers and state-of-the-art snowmaking, the resort delivers a world-class experience that blends alpine sport, entertainment and wellness. 'Sölden stands out as a premier alpine destination with remarkable snow reliability and panoramic views from its mountain tops and glacier ski area,' said Bill Rock, President of Vail Resorts' Mountain Division. 'Sölden is a bucket-list resort that we are thrilled to add to the Epic Pass. In addition to the amazing skiing and riding, it also contains experiences that don't exist anywhere else like the 007 ELEMENTS Bond experience and the Aqua Dome.'

Sölden is host to the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Opening each October, and exciting events like the Electric Mountain Festival that brings international DJs to the slopes, and the Hannibal glacier performance, a large-scale live production on snow and ice. For winter 2025/26, Sölden is once again making a bold statement in innovation and infrastructure with significant investments, including two new high-capacity lifts that further enhance glacier access and guest comfort. For ultimate relaxation, Aqua Dome – Tirol Therme is one of Europe's most iconic thermal spas and a must-visit for wellness lovers.
