No Price Increase for 2026/27 Mountain Collective Season Pass

For the fourth straight year, Mountain Collective is offering its annual multi-destination Power Pass with no price increase. That’s unlike the other two major multi-resort passes, Ikon and Epic, which have raised prices while adding additional perks.

The lowest prices of the year are on sale now through April 24.

While pricing holds steady, the Power Pass is committing more than $37 million to mountain infrastructure at several participating destinations, including a snowmaking project at Pajarito Mountain in Los Alamos, New Mexico.

That is a public-private partnership with Los Alamos County and the state of New Mexico for a a pipeline to deliver reliable water for snowmaking operations and also support beginning regional fire protection through a 10-million-gallon reservoir.

Kids 12 and Younger Still Ski Free Globally

Power Kids remains the only season pass in the country to offer children 12 and younger free skiing with no purchase required and no blackout dates.

The benefit extends across two hemispheres, with unlimited access to Power Pass mountains in the U.S. and Chile, plus free mountain bike uplifts at U.S. bike parks.

Passholder Experience Enhancements

RFID Access: All U.S. Power Pass mountains are switching to RFID technology, replacing manual scans with hands-free lift access.

Expanded 50% Off Tickets: Most passes now include six 50% off winter or summer uplift tickets, an increase from the previous 35% discount.

Low Monthly Payments: The 0% interest payment plan has been extended through February 2027.

The Power Pass continues its legacy of tiered pricing, with dedicated discounted rates for ages 13 to 18, 19 to 24, 25 to 29, and 30 to 36 to help keep the sport affordable as guests grow beyond the Power Kids years. Unfortunately for us 70+ skiers, there are minimal discounts for seniors.
