The earlier you purchase your Mountain Collective Pass, the better. Buy your 2016-17 pass this spring and you’ll get a bonus day at the destination of your choice. Note: We’re giving you permission to call in sick to work if it’s a pow day.

5. Mountain Collective passholders get special lodging deals

Passholders can receive up to 35-percent off at some of the finest hotels and condos at ski destinations across TMC resorts. Let’s face it, after a long day of shredding, there’s nothing better than a hot tub session and a comfortable bed to re-charge the batteries. Examples?

9. Season pass = just $389 (while supplies last)

If you’d put away $1.04 for past 365 days, you’d have enough moolah saved to pay for your Mountain Collective pass. It’s a mighty fair price for mighty radical skiing. Some folks ask, “Is it worth it to purchase the Mountain Collective Pass if I only visit one destination?” The quick answer: Typically, if you visit one destination for six days or more the pass will pay for itself. But, once you’ve locked down your pass, we’d be willing to bet you’re going to go nuts: You’ll be planning skiing getaways left and right. Just look at all of those bucket-list destinations…

10. Mega discounts on all additional days

Mountain Collective passholders will receive 50-percent off additional single day tickets at participating Mountain Collective resorts. I.e. you’ve used up your two days at AltaSnowbird but wish to shred a third day? Day three is 50-percent off the going rate. This feature makes it a no-brainer decision to tack on a couple of extra days at your personal favorite destination. Bag that vert, baby. Note: Applies only to single day lift tickets.

11. Miles, miles, miles

Think about how many miles you could log on a year-long Mountain Collective adventure. If you began a road trip from Stowe, VT that hit each TMC resort along the way and ended at Mammoth Mountain, CA, that’s a whopping 5,921 miles right there. Throw in trips to Hakuba Valley, Valle Nevado, Chamonix, Coronet Peak/The Remarkables and Thredbo in there, and you’ll be reaching United Premier Gold status in no time.
