Enhancing the guest experience
Across its resorts this season, the company is rolling out new data-driven strategies to enhance the guest experience. This includes:
- Limiting lift ticket sales across its 34 North American resorts during the three most popular holiday weeks, Dec. 25-Jan. 2,
Jan. 14-17 andFeb. 18-27 , to prioritize the mountain experience for its Pass Holders. Lift tickets will not be limited on any other day this season.
- Deploying a new operating plan to significantly improve efficiency of lift and gondola loading to reduce wait times, among other operational enhancements.
- Launching a new daily forecast of lift line wait times in the EpicMix app at 12 of the company's most popular resorts to help guests better plan their ski and ride day.
- Investing in new lifts and expanded terrain to reduce wait times and improve circulation around the mountains. New lifts are unveiling at five resorts and expanded terrain is opening at
Beaver Creek ; plus 19 new lift projects are planned ahead of next season as a part of the company's Epic Lift Upgrade initiative.
