Plan Your Season With More Peace Of Mind

Epic Coverage is included with every Epic Australia Pass, Epic Australia 4-Day Pass and Epic Australia Adaptive Pass and helps you explore the mountains you love with more peace of mind.

What is Epic Coverage?

Under Epic Coverage, you may be eligible to receive a full or prorated refund of your Pass for certain qualifying Personal Refund Events. Refunds are subject to eligibility and are based on your Epic Coverage elections and the Epic Coverage Australia Terms.

Your Epic Coverage elections should reflect your circumstances and preferences. These elections are used to determine your eligibility for a refund of your Pass purchase and how we calculate the amount of your refund. If you do not make an election, default elections will be applied.

See Epic Coverage Australia Terms for details, including covered events, and coverage exclusions and limitations.

If any of the following happens over the course of the season, you may be eligible for a full or prorated refund* depending on your elections and your specific circumstances.

Personal Refund Events

  • Injury, illness or death
  • Pregnancy and adoption
  • Job loss, employment stand-down or transfer
  • Visa rejections and travel restrictions

*The above is a high-level summary of qualifying events only. You should read the Epic Coverage Australia Terms for full details of the eligibility criteria and conditions relating to Personal Refund Events and Resort Closure Events, and how your elections and specific circumstances determine your eligibility for a refund.

Requests for refunds under Epic Coverage must be made within 30 days of the event.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

When am I covered?

We know that everyone’s travel plans are different. While some people may choose to visit our resorts once during the season for a long period, others may choose to visit multiple times for different durations.

Tailoring your Epic Coverage preferences ensures that the protection provided to you is based on your unique way of traveling.

Note: Epic Coverage elections do not change the days on which you may use your Pass or the resort access that is included with your Pass, they are strictly used to determine eligibility and the refund amount should a qualifying refund event occur.
