Brett Catlin, Alaska Airlines’ Vice President of Loyalty, Alliances, and Sales, expressed excitement about this partnership: “Many of our dedicated Mileage Plan members are avid skiers and snowboarders. This collaboration with The Mountain Collective provides a wonderful opportunity to explore exceptional resorts while saving money. We’re equally thrilled to offer our top-notch flight options for reaching these resorts through our own flights and with the support of our oneworld member airlines and other global partners.”
It’s worth noting that when flying with Alaska Airlines, ski and snowboard gear fall under normal checked baggage rules, with no extra charges besides standard baggage fees and waivers. Mileage Plan elite flyers and holders of the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card enjoy the added perk of free checked bags, ensuring their equipment travels cost-free.
The allure of The Mountain Collective pass lies in its promise of two days of skiing at each participating resort spread across five continents, with the option to purchase extra days at a discounted rate sans blackout dates. Until September 25, the pass is available at $630 for adults (ages 13 and above), $500 for teenagers (ages 13-18), and $200 for children under 12.
