Stowe is the first ski area in the East to sign on to the partnership. “As the only Eastern resort among 11 distinctive and iconic destinations, Stowe offers a superlative overall experience both on and off the mountain to the most discerning skiers and riders traveling in this part of North America,” said Robert McEleney, president and CEO of Stowe.
In New Mexico, Gordon Briner, CEO of Taos, said Mountain Collective pass holders can look forward to experiencing the resort’s newly added Kachina Lift that tops out at more than 12,400 feet, as well as a newly renovated base area and ski school.
