SEVEN SPRINGS ― As the season changes, so do the events and offerings at Seven Springs Mountain Resort.

“We love winter, but Seven Springs is a special place in the summer as well,” said Brett Cook, general manager of Seven Springs, Hidden Valley and Laurel Mountain resorts in Somerset County. “The resort is an amazing venue for festivals and events. Families and friends gather at the base of the mountain for the Laurel Highlands’ biggest backyard barbecue at our annual Rib & Wing Festival, sing along with the band under the stars at the Foggy Goggle Concert Series, and make new memories and relive old ones with a ride on the Alpine Slide.”

Vail Resorts also continues to offer the Epic Day Pass, which allows guests access to world-class resorts at pre-season pricing with significant savings when compared to a lift ticket. The Epic Day Pass is perfect for those who plan to ski and ride between one and seven days throughout the winter season. In effect, skiers and riders can build their own passes and also choose Epic FlexPay as a convenient payment option.
