Mountain Collective 2019/2020

[Vcize]

The “pass” is definitely contributory, but there are many factors at play. Social media marketing, better access via increased flights and origins, built out accommodations at village, more dining options, and perhaps most important - more terrain for intermediates (think all that stuff around Casper). Marketing is geared to Momma bear, momma bear likes these things. <- sorry, that is a broad generalization and doesn’t reflect views of all “momma bears”, but still true.

I think this plays a big part. I was just in JH a few weeks ago and you couldn't walk 10 feet without some sign or piece of literature blasting at you "JACKSON HOLE HAS GREAT INTERMEDIATE TERRAIN NOW, NOT JUST AN EXPERT MOUNTAIN!!!!".

From skiing around and overhearing people chat it definitely sounded like a large part of those crowds (the weekend after MLK weekend, very busy) was exactly that demographic.

Sorry I didn't actually see it but my wife just bought the passes and it said it somewhere there. I'm sure she said NZ was $449 NZ peso.
I know we only paid $449 Aussie because I can see that has come out of my bank account.
I'm thinking it may be when you login if you already have a MC account?

I believe MC = Liftopia.

I thought the Mountain Collective was an initiative of Aspen Ski Co?

The info is in the first paragraph here;

[Basically, Alta, Aspen, Jackson Hole and Squaw were the original members]

It was my impression that the Collective really is a collective initiative, and Liftopia is just a hired administrator.

I wonder if you have to be in New Zealand? Someone with a VPN might be able to check it out. Otherwise, I will look for people when we get back to New Zealand in late April.

Interesting find...
I wonder if they got the currency conversion incorrect? Since it says it's supposed to be equivalent to $449 USD
