    Epic Australia Pass Now Includes Switzerland's Verbier 4 Vallées for 2025/26 Season

    Epic Australia Pass holders will gain unprecedented access to Switzerland's legendary Verbier 4 Vallées in the 2025/26 northern hemisphere season, with five consecutive days of skiing now included. Unlike the current season, which requires booking accommodation to access the resort, the new arrangement allows pass holders to visit without any lodging requirements.

    Verbier is widely regarded as home to some of Europe's best freeride terrain and serves as the gateway to Switzerland's largest ski area. The 4 Vallées network spans four valleys and connects six ski resorts, offering an impressive 410 kilometres of runs with spectacular views of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc directly from the slopes.

    Located just two hours from Geneva in Switzerland's Valais Canton, Verbier is easily accessible by train or car from Vail Resorts' recently acquired Swiss properties, Crans-Montana Mountain Resort and Andermatt-Sedrun.

    Enhanced Value for the 2025 Season

    The 2025 Epic Australia Pass is currently on sale for AU$1,079 for adults (18-64 years), AU$619 for children (5-17 years), and AU$839 for seniors (65+ years).

    For skiers and riders seeking a more flexible option, Vail Resorts has introduced the Epic Australia 4-Day Pass for the 2025 winter season. Priced at AU$559 for adults, AU$315 for children, and AU$435 for seniors, this pass provides four days of combined access that can be used any day throughout the season at Perisher, Falls Creek, and Hotham.

    Exclusive Discounts for Pass Holders

    Both Epic Australia Pass and Epic Australia 4-Day Pass holders will receive significant savings on resort experiences at Australian resorts during the winter season, including:

    • 20% off group and private lessons
    • 20% off equipment rentals
    • 15% off accommodation at The Station in Jindabyne
    • Up to 15% off at Perisher and Hotham-owned food and beverage outlets

    The addition of Verbier 4 Vallées further enhances the global appeal of the Epic Australia Pass, which already includes access to premier international destinations such as Whistler Blackcomb (Canada), Vail, Breckenridge, and Park City (USA), as well as Hakuba Valley and Rusutsu (Japan).

    FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032

    FIS Weighs Holding World Championships in Almost Every Winter, Starting 2032

    The International Ski and Snowboard Federation is looking at a major shake-up to its title events calendar. From 2032, World Championships could run not just in odd-numbered years but in every non-Olympic winter too, effectively putting a global title event on the calendar almost every season. The FIS Council has approved the concept following a feasibility study, though an accelerated rollout as early as 2028 is also under consideration.

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller Becomes Latest Australian Resort to Call Time Early on 2026

    Mount Buller closes out its 2026 season this Sunday, joining Falls Creek, Hotham and Charlotte Pass in a cluster of closures landing almost simultaneously and roughly a month ahead of schedule. The culprit is stark: Spencers Creek's benchmark snow depth hit 31.2cm on 3 September, just 18% of the 73-year average and an all-time low for this point in the season. Six of Victoria and NSW's best-known resorts will have shut their lifts early within a span of about two and a half weeks.

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant to Add New Timber Summit Ski Sector for 2027/28 Season

    Tremblant has confirmed a major expansion of its Quebec ski area, with a new Timber Summit sector adding 62 acres of terrain, eight trails and a high-speed quad chairlift for winter 2027/28. It's part of a CAD 42.5 million investment that also includes a new beginner learning zone at Versant Soleil opening this coming season. The project has grown considerably since it was first announced back in 2020, when it carried a far smaller budget and an opening date that never eventuated.

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    Mount Hotham to Close for the 2026 Season on Sunday, September 6

    We knew when the Bird Bath Pond Skim showed up on Hotham's Instagram that the season was on its way out. It's been a rough one - I only managed two days on snow all year, at Falls Creek - and now Baw Baw, Selwyn and Hotham have all called it, possibly the worst Australian season I've seen in a decade. Hotham's last day of lift operations is Sunday, 6 September, with a Retro Day, Father's Day après and closing sales before the lifts stop turning for good.

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo to Replace Ageing Gunbarrel Quad With New Six-Seat Chairlift for 2028

    Thredbo Alpine Resort has confirmed plans to replace its 37-year-old Gunbarrel quad chairlift with a new six-seat Doppelmayr D-Line, targeting winter 2028. The AUD 35 million project will keep travel time roughly the same but lift capacity from 2,800 to 3,000 skiers per hour. It's part of a broader investment push that also includes doubled snowmaking capacity at Friday Flat for 2027, with the ageing Kosciuszko Express now flagged as the resort's next major lift replacement after Gunbarrel.

    Aerial Tram Collides With Crane at Alpe d'Huez: 23 Injured

    An aerial tram carrying around fifty passengers struck the boom of a construction crane on the route to Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Huez on Wednesday morning, injuring 23 people, three seriously. The cabin tipped on impact before the operator reversed it to right the car. Most of the injured were treated on site, with five taken to hospital in Grenoble, including a pregnant woman assessed as a precaution.

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    Why Glaciers Are Collapsing - And What Happens When They Do

    A deadly flood on the Nepal-China border, a decade-old tragedy on Italy's Marmolada, and an unstable glacier right now above a village near Zermatt - three very different mountain ranges, the same underlying story. Warming ice is destabilising terrain that was considered settled for generations, and the results range from catastrophic floods to slow-motion monitoring situations that could go either way.

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Pitztal Glacier Set to Reopen for the 2026/27 Ski Season on 26 September

    Tyrol's highest ski area is gearing up to open a full month ahead of most of the Alps. The Pitztal Glacier is scheduled to start its 2026/27 season on Saturday 26 September, running through to 2 May 2027, with the lower-altitude Rifflsee area following in December. High-altitude terrain up to 3,440 metres gives the glacier a head start on snow, though as always, the actual opening extent will depend on how September's weather plays out. Early online ski pass bookings can save up to 30%.
