When it comes to ski industry consolidation in 2017– THE RACE IS ON!

Earlier today, The Mountain Collective announced the addition of Snowbasin Resort in Utah and Sugarbush Resort in Vermont bringing the resort’s roster back to a total of 17 separate ski areas. The Vermont and Utah ski areas are the first additions to the Collective since the multi-resort pass lost Whistler Blackcomb and Stowe to Vail Resorts.
While many are going to label this counter action as ‘too little too late,’ the inclusion of these resorts illustrates a longer play to protect the interests of skiers who prefer diversity over conformity.
