Vail Resorts announces operating dates for summer season

Vail Resorts has announced season dates for summer operations in Colorado and Utah, with activities including hiking, mountain biking, scenic lift rides, and more.

According to a press release from Vail Resorts, Keystone Resort will kick off the summer season with golf at The River Course opening on May 8 – and given the recent forecast, it’s likely to be a bit snowy at that time.

Epic Pass holders for next season will receive summer benefits, including unlimited scenic lift and gondola rides, and 20% savings on dining, lodging, bike rentals, and golf at Keystone.

Eligible guests who have not bought their Epic Pass yet and who visited any of Vail Resort’s 37 North American resorts with a lift ticket during the 2025/26 season can save up to $175 on select Epic Pass products. That means that teens and young adults (ages 13-30) could get their Epic Pass for as low as $694 or an Epic Local Pass for $474.
