A limited number of Mountain Collective passes are on sale now for $389. That includes two days of skiing or riding at each of the seven destinations, plus a 50 percent discount on all additional days, with no blackout dates. Pricing for the kid’s pass (ages 12 and under) has been reduced to $99, more than 55 percent less than last season.

Passes are available online through an exclusive technology, distribution and marketing partnership with Liftopia at www.MountainCollective.com.
“The three mountains of Lake Louise, Sunshine Village and Mount Norquay in Canada’s Banff National Park are thrilled to join the premier ski and snowboard destinations on the planet,” said Pete Woods, general manager, Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine. “The unbelievable mix of terrain, astounding natural setting and welcoming ski towns of Banff and Lake Louise are a perfect match to the dream list of Mountain Collective destinations.”

“This addition nicely complements the already incredible roster of Mountain Collective destinations, giving skiers and riders even more variety and value,” said Christian Knapp, vice president of marketing, Aspen Skiing Company.

Extra benefits available to Mountain Collective pass holders include exclusive lodging deals and a complimentary one year Protect Our Winters (protectourwinters.org) membership. Protect Our Winters aims to unite the winter sports community behind efforts to slow climate change.

As has been the case from the beginning, Mountain Collective resorts offer a 50 percent discount on lift tickets to premier season pass holders from other Collective members throughout the season, no Mountain Collective pass necessary.
