EpicMix Ski Photos - Social, mobile, photography for the ski fanatics

Here's an update from epicMix, a cool mobile, social service for the skiing crowd that provides a mobile app to enhance social sharing of photos from the slopes. EpicMix was launched by Vail resorts in Colorado last year. More enhancements are expected to be added later this season.


  1. The Mountain Remix collage is launching today on the EpicMix online site allowing guests to combine their on-mountain EpicMix professional photos with their stats, such as days skied and vertical feet with their favorite digital pins they've earned, along with other selected information like snow totals, into a single picture file or "jpeg" creating a completely one-of-a-kind Remix collage. The Remix will be a single snapshot of their perfect day, vacation or season that guests can then share on Facebook and Twitter with friends and family.
  2. EpicMix photographers will be able to capture action photos of guests at select locations on the slopes at all six mountains – Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Heavenly and Northstar. Guests will ski or ride in marked areas to an EpicMix photographer, who will capture the action and then scan the guests' RF-enabled lift ticket or pass. The photos will then be automatically delivered to their EpicMix account to share with friends and family or can be incorporated into a Remix collage.
  3. All EpicMix photos are available to guests for free to share on Facebook and Twitter. Guests can also purchase a high-resolution image for download for $19.95. With the excitement of photography far exceeding expectations, Vail Resorts will be limiting the availability of high-resolution images for guest download to 30 days from the date the photo is taken. Low resolution images for sharing on social sites will not be subject to the 30-day expiration.
