      I agree with many of the bad reviews here. In my situation, my wife got pregnant, and some months later, she had a miscarriage. I don't need to tell you how sorrowful this situation was for me and my family. Then, after the dust settle down, I decided to request a refund for the pass I bought for my wife since she didn't use it for a single day. However, after providing Vail Resorts with a lot of personal information and documentation asked by them to prove her pregnancy and the miscarriage, they simply said: "Thank you for providing documentation so I can fully investigate and review your refund request. I have completed my investigation and unfortunately, I am unable to issue you a refund."I understand it is their call to refund or not, and they are not responsible for the pain I experienced. On the other hand, it is my choice not to do business with a company whose values are different from mine. So, this year, I will not buy any Epic pass again.

      The absolute worst customer service I have ever received. I used to work for **** and loved the company but I cannot believe how bad my service has been. I put a down payment down for an epic local pass earlier this year but no longer have the funds to pay for it. I know I can't get my deposit back so I asked if I could just cancel that pass as it was not paid for yet and buy an Ohio pass. They said this is not possible and you will just have to pay for it. They're happy to do the paperwork to upgrade your pass but refuse to help change a pass. I asked to speak to a manager and the lady said "no, no one else is here and if you call back in you will just get the same response". It is so disappointing to see how **** has become such a money hungry corporation and not care about its customers or former employees.

      Hello **************,We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and to detail your concerns regarding your experience with **** Resorts. **** Resorts is aware that you have contacted the Better Business Bureau and they apologize for your frustrations. They certainly understand and respect your position and the greatly value the feedback you have provided. Your history as a **** Resorts employee is also valued.We understand that you have requested to downgrade your 22/23 Epic Local pass to an Ohio pass prior to the remaining balance being charged. **** informed you that they are unable to downgrade passes but are willing to assist with upgrading if needed. Due to conflicting information, you purchased an Ohio pass, in full, prior to requesting to cancel the Epic Local pass, again prior to the remaining balance being charged. **** indicated that passes are also non-refundable and that they cannot cancel the Epic Local pass despite not having paid the full price.While **** apologize for any confusion, they did clarify that pass products are both non-refundable and unable to be downgraded once purchased or once a deposit is made. The non-refundable status of Epic pass products is addressed in the pass purchase policy which is presented at the time guests purchase their pass and is published on epicpass.com. As refunding a pass is required to downgrade, **** has verified that they are unable to downgrade passes outside of a 72-hour buyers remorse period.They are aware that you purchased another pass in addition to the Epic Local pass. While they cannot cancel the Epic Local or downgrade it, they are able to cancel and refund the secondary **** Epic pass that was purchased on September 4th. If you would like to cancel that pass, please reach out to **** Resorts directly.While they respect your position and your criticism, unfortunately they are unable to make exceptions to their standing policies. Although they cannot cancel the original pass you purchased, **** did include Epic Coverage with all pass products for the 22/23 season. Epic Coverage policy is free for all pass holders and covers qualifying personal events (e.g.?job loss, illness, injury, etc.). You are welcome to review the terms and conditions of this policy which are also published on epicpass.com. If you determine that you do have a qualifying event, you are welcome to submit your refund request by calling ************** or by visiting:?https://intake.sedgwick.com/u/****.As we said, we greatly appreciate you taking the time to reach out and express your concerns. **** Resorts assures that they will review your feedback as they continue to work on improving their policies to provide the best experience for their guests. If you do choose to pursue a refund through Epic Coverage, we hope that it works out to a positive outcome.

      I'd agree with a lot of the feedback here -- their outsourced call center is horrible. So much background noise you can't hear them, ineffective communication and inability to quickly understand much less fix the most basic problems or issues. Although most of their processes and systems aren't much better (i.e., in this case all I'm trying to do is update my credit card on their website. Such a basic function and know I'm entering it in correctly but it will only return a message of "Your payment information was not saved. Please check your credit card details and try again. If you need assistance please contact us at 970-xxxxxx..."). Which forces you to use their horrible call center. Their CIO should be fired if this is the best they can do. Ridiculous and makes me wish I could get our annual ski group to go to non-**** resort locations.

      In spring 2022 I put a down payment on a 22/23 Epic pass. I've since experienced a death in the family that requires care and financial support of the spouse left behind. Because of this, I unfortunately can't take advantage of a pass this season.I received an email from **** in August that the remainder of my pass -- nearly $600 -- would be charged in September. When I went into my account to cancel the transaction, I realized there was no way to do this. I contacted customer service, who directed me to Sedgwick -- the company that administers ***************** I was told this is not a qualifying event -- the person who dies must live in the same household.After multiple calls to various customer service people, no one was able or willing to help. It's really disappointing that a company won't do the descent thing, but as I read the reviews here at BBB, I can see **** Resorts is not accredited and is simply a company that doesn't to do the right thing repeatedly.I'll not be supporting **** Resorts in the future.

      Hello ********************,We appreciate you taking the time to reach out and voice your concerns regarding your experience with Epic. **** Resorts is aware that you have contacted the Better Business Bureau and they greatly value your feedback. We understand that you are currently working on cancelling your Epic pass for the 22/23 season due to a death in your family. Both **** Resorts and the Better Business Bureau are sincerely sorry for your loss and for the challenges you and your family face. **** Resorts indicated that they conducted a review of your account and confirmed a deposit of $49 charged on April 21, 2022. While they certainly understand your concerns and they respect your position, per their standing policies, once a deposit has been made the Epic pass product is non-refundable. Additionally, the remaining balance will be charged on the pre-determined date later in the season. This is addressed in the pass purchase policy which is presented and acknowledged at the time guests purchase a pass. You are welcome to review this policy for your records here https://www.epicpass.com/policies?tc_1=2.As you are already aware, **** did include Epic Coverage with all pass products purchased for the 22/23 season. Epic Coverage provides refunds to guests who experience a qualifying event which prevents them from using their pass for an extended period of time. Unfortunately, as ******** informed you, the death of a family member outside of your immediate family who resides in the same household as you, is not a refund eligible event. While **** sympathizes with you, they are obligated to uphold their policies no matter the circumstances.Again, we are truly sorry for your loss. **** Resorts respects your position and understands your frustrations. They assure that they will review your comments and your feedback as they continue to work on improving their standing policies in order to provide a better experience for their guests. **** urges you to review the Epic Coverage terms and conditions again to confirm whether you may qualify for a refund due to another qualifying event. If you do choose to appeal ********* denied refund request, we hope that it works out to a positive outcome for you and your family. **** Resorts wishes you well and they wish you and your family strength as you begin to move forward from your loss.

      Terrible customer service. They have added staff, so you can get someone on the phone now, but they have very limited knowledge. The website is particularly bad for pass holders.

      Awful. Bought my husband a epic pass but by accident it attached to my name. Will not let me change it into his name. I dont want a pass. They want me to pay through 780 dollars. Absolutely insane. No excuses. An honest mistake. I know this happens I was told to others.

      Unscrupulous and deceitful business practices. Does not honor reservations made 6 months in advance. Rips off customer with bait and switch tactics. Will never book at any place owned by Vail Resorts! This place is a disgrace to their conference center attendees.

      **** have an absolutely HORRENDOUS customer service department. I had to call in over 5 times to get issues resolved with my season pass. They outsource their customer service to non-english speakers who have supervisors that do not understand their policies. I had to go through policy descriptions on ****'s website and actually correct the customer service representatives.I will NEVER ever buy Epic pass again. Go with the Ikon pass. Epic is by far the worst experience I have ever had with any ski resort or season pass company.STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!

      Hello ********************,Thank you for taking the time to reach out and to voice your concerns. We greatly appreciate your feedback and we apologize for your frustrations. We understand that you reached out to initially upgrade your 22/23 Epic day pass and you were told you would need to purchase a new pass using the Epic Flexpay option and then have the original pass refunded. Unfortunately, after you purchased the new pass product, you were told that we would be unable to cancel the existing pass. You have also been sent to different departments and phone numbers in order to have the original pass cancelled.Based on these details, we certainly understand your frustrations. With the introduction of our Epic Flexpay option, our team members are still in a learning and growth period and we apologize for the incorrect information you were provided. Historically, our passes are non-refundable however, as guests who use *********** order to upgrade a pass, you are required to purchase your new pass before the original pass can be cancelled. Once we receive the verification that your new, upgraded pass has been purchased, we will gladly return the original. As previously stated, we are truly sorry this was not explained or honored when you initially contacted us.After reviewing notes on your account, we can confirm that **** leadership addressed this mistake and issued a refund for the Epic 2-day pass that you wished to cancel. They sent an additional email follow up and receipt for your records. We truly do appreciate your feedback regarding your experience and we will use the details you provided while we continue to improve our overall guest experience. Any additional feedback or questions you have can be directed to **** Resorts directly by emailing ************************************** We look forward to seeing you on this slopes this winter and hope that you will be able to enjoy your Epic pass.

      We purchased gondola tickets to the top of Heavenly Mountain for $63 for adults. Next to the ticket window is a 20-foot photo of a Zip Line that was shut down 9 years ago! We got to the top to discover that BOTH rope-climbing attractions were shut down due to rotted ropes, and the tubing was shut down because the equipment was stuck on some barge in the Pacific Ocean. The only thing open was the coaster ride for $35 for a 5-minute ride and the rock-climbing wall for an additional charge. No mention of these closed attractions was made when purchasing the tickets. It was a waste of money, a disappointment for our guests, and an embarrassment to us. Not to mention blatant false advertisement. I miss the days when the mountain was owned and operated by the ********* family. NEVER AGAIN!!!

      Hello **************,We greatly appreciate you taking the time to contact us with your concerns. Your feedback is greatly appreciated while we continue to work on improving our guest experience. We understand that you purchased Gondola tickets with the intention to enjoy multiple summer activities at the top. Regrettably, the majority of those activities were not open and you were presented only with activities which cost an additional fee in addition to the gondola ticket. We are truly sorry for your unfortunate experience and that your trip was not as fund as you had hoped. Our team at Heavenly resort began working to make sure summer activities were fully functioning for the 22 summer season however, as you indicated, unfortunately not all activities were open due to different circumstances. Heavenly does their best to keep their website up to date regarding the status of their summer activities and they also have a ******* account which provides updates on activity status as well as weather conditions. We apologize if this information was not easily accessible to you and your family.Additionally, we recognize that you purchased gondola tickets only to access the activities at the top however, gondola tickets are essentially lift tickets and they are non-refundable once used. We regret that we are unable to refund those tickets. Again, we are sincerely sorry that you did not get to enjoy your trip to Heavenly resort. Your feedback regarding communication of the status of our activities if invaluable and we will absolutely review our current communication methods. Heavenly resort is aware of your concerns as well and assures that they are looking into updating their on mountain advertisements. Any additional feedback you would like to provide is greatly appreciated and can be sent to **** directly by emailing [email protected],******
