Before Your Trip

Getting Your Gear

My Epic Gear offers three ways to get your gear: Slopeside Pick-Up and Drop-Off, Delivery, or Split Delivery. With convenient locations across the resort, you can find the closest option to your accommodations. Visit the My Epic Gear website to find out which option is right for you during your trip. 

Boot Inspections

If you are bringing your own ski boots, a boot inspection will be required to ensure correct setup of your gear. This includes a make, model, size, and wear inspection of your ski boots. Please have both boots with you at the time of fulfillment for the required inspection.

The first time you choose to bring your own boots, inspection needs to occur at a Member Services location or during Delivery. For subsequent reservations where you will utilize the same boots, you can complete your boot inspection via any gear fulfillment method.

Timing

Prior to arrival at the resort, please check the details of your upcoming reservation in the My Epic App to make sure they are accurate, double-checking pickup or delivery locations and times are correct.

If you selected delivery, please ensure all parties on the reservation are present for proper gear fitting.

Need to Adjust?

We understand plans change. If you need assistance changing your reservation due to travel changes or other needs, please contact our support representatives at 970-754-1000.

  • Your Lift Ticket or Epic Pass
  • Clothing + Accessories appropriate for the weather during your reservation
  • The My Epic App

During Your Trip

Need Assistance?

If you need assistance with your gear during your reservation, please call the My Epic Gear concierge or visit us at any Slopeside or Member Service location.

Forget something for your trip? Many of our Member Service locations also carry basic needs like sunscreen, gloves, and goggles for purchase.

Storage

End of Day Storage – You can choose to store your skis and poles or snowboard at any Slopeside location, or bring them back to your accommodations. If you store Slopeside, we will have your gear waiting for you at the same spot the next morning. If you included boots and/or a helmet in your reservation, you’ll take those with you at the end of each day.

Returning Your Gear

On the last day of your reservation, please return your equipment to any of our Member Service or Slopeside locations. Please note, boots and helmets may only be returned at Member Service locations.

If you would like My Epic Gear to pick up some or all of your gear at your accommodation, please contact the Member Services concierge at least 48 hours before pickup is needed by calling 970-754-0100.

If you plan to return your gear to a different resort from where you started your reservation, please notify our concierge at 970-754-0100.

Extending Reservations

If your plans change and you are interested in extending your current reservation, please contact our concierge to discuss availability options at 970-754-0100. Ability to extend your reservation will depend on available gear inventory.

 

After Your Trip

Après and Play 

After your reservation, head down to our two vibrant European style villages to experience après unique to Vail: Lionshead and Vail Village. The two hot spots are connected by a 10-15 minute short walk or an easy free bus with beautiful mountain views.

Access Gear History

After your reservation, your gear history will be available in your My Epic Gear profile in the My Epic App so you can view and rebook gear used in previous reservations.
