WILDWOOD, Mo., March 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Peak Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKIS), a leading owner and operator of high-quality, individually branded U.S. ski resorts, today announced the debut of the Peak Pass – its popular multi-mountain season pass – for the 2019-20 season. All six Peak Pass options for the upcoming season are available for sale effective today, March 6, 2019.

The Peak Pass is “How The East Was One” thanks to its truly unlimited, multi-mountain access to Peak Resorts’ broad array of Northeast and Midwest resorts, all within reach of some of the country’s largest metropolitan areas, including Boston, New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Cleveland. Peak’s destinations offer varied terrain, world-class snowmaking, expansive dining and retail offerings, and leading terrain parks, including the #1 and #2 parks in the East (Carinthia Parks at Mount Snow and Big Boulder Park). In addition, Peak Resorts prides itself in having some of the industry’s earliest opening days every season due to its ongoing commitment to state-of-the-art snowmaking upgrades.

“At a time when the value and complexity of multi-mountain season passes create more questions than answers for many skiers and riders, Peak Resorts is thrilled to announce that all of our Peak Pass offerings return for their fourth season with no price increases through the spring pricing window,” said Jesse Boyd, Vice President of Operations of Peak Resorts. “We believe our guests will appreciate the simplicity of our unlimited Peak Pass offerings, and that by keeping prices unchanged through April 30, we are ensuring that the Peak Pass remains the industry’s most compelling season pass value. Skiers and riders with a 2019-20 Peak Pass will have access to our resorts from Ohio to New Hampshire, including the newest resorts to join the Peak Resorts family – Liberty, Roundtop, and Whitetail – in Pennsylvania.

“We look forward to welcoming season passholders at Liberty, Roundtop, and Whitetail to the Peak Pass for the 2019-20 season and to building on three years of strong momentum while keeping our early season prices flat, all while offering more access to skiing and riding than ever before on our Peak Pass. Across our resort portfolio we have spent the past several years investing in new on- and off-mountain additions and improvements, terrain expansions, and advanced snowmaking capacity, all in an effort to deliver on our commitment to providing the best winter recreation experience for our guests. We look forward to closing on a strong 2018-19 ski season and soon thereafter welcoming returning and new Peak Passholders to our resorts for the 2019-20 season.”
