The Mountain Collective Pass (MCP) for 2014-15 is already on the second stage. Still offering a third included day at one destination, but the price went up $10 to $369 for adults. Still $99 for kids age 12 and under. In previous years, the MCP was available in the spring and then again starting in mid-August until about mid-November. The price went up by about $30 between the first stage and the last.
For those unfamiliar with the MCP, it covers six destinations in North America: Alta/Snowbird, Aspen/Snowmass, Squaw/Alpine, Jackson Hole, Whistler, Mammoth. For Alta/Bird, it's for a combo pass only. For Aspen, all four mountains are included as is usual there. The idea behind the MCP is that you get two included days at all six places, plus 50% off any additional days (no blackout dates). For the 2014-15 MCP, also get two days at Thredbo and Valle Nevado in Summer 2014.
Someone who travels to ski at big mountains who can make it to two of the destinations for at least 3 days each usually can save a bit of money with the MCP. In some cases, skiing for 6+ days at one destination may make the MCP worth considering.
