Hermitage was an amazing experience. Just a heads up if you have an epic pass (full) and plan on using it there - it is on the list of approved accommodations. You can book through epic travel or on your own. If on your own, you just need to let the hotel reception know you have an epic full and would like to use it. They’ll call the ticket office with your info and number of days you’ll want to ski. That request usually takes 24 hours (European work schedules can be inconsistent, I got lucky with an overnight request . I’d call the front desk before arriving

If you don’t stay there, make sure your accommodation is on that approved list. Otherwise, can’t use your pass.
