- Dependant: Immediate family of Veteran Military members, including spouse and any child dependants. Parents of military members are not included, as well as children who are no longer dependant.
CHILD DEPENDANTS
Vail Resorts does not define this. We are relying on military definitions and eligibility as defined by the Australian Military, who individually defines dependant children as:
-
ADF: dependant children of the ADF member who are under 21 years. The military member’s spouse's or partner's children are also included in this definition as are older children who have been qualified by the ADF as dependant due to a disability.
-
Children who are 18+ will still be required to purchase an adult dependant pass. Child pricing is available for Military Epic Pass – Veteran for Child dependants under the age of 18.
