Season pass pricing wars are nothing new to the industry of the last decade and across east coast, west coast and central mountain regions. But the new battles which are bundling many resorts is incredibly advantageous to consumers who want to take multiple ski trips during the course of a ski season and get to experience a variety of experiences and now in multiple countries. For this, there have emerged two premier passes in North America: the Epic Pass and the Mountain Collective Pass. For some who live in the front range of Colorado the Epic gets a nod for having A Basin and Vail, but once you get past that the Mountain Collective appears to be the real winner, hands down. With Alta and Snowbird, the top 2 ranked resorts in the nation, plus the entire Aspen 4 mountain collection of Aspen, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk you get arguably the best skiing in Colorado, and then you get Jackson Hole too, the best Wyoming has to offer, in terms of pure epic skiing, the Mountain Collective takes the Epic down.
