Consider your season plans officially rewritten.
What is Mountain Collective?
The Mountain Collective multi-resort pass is more than just a ski or snowboard ticket. Think of it as your passport to some of the world’s most legendary mountains. With access to 27 destinations across five continents—including the U.S., Canada, Japan, France, Australia, New Zealand, and Chile—it gives riders the freedom to chase unforgettable terrain anywhere. It’s basically an all-access backstage pass to the world’s most iconic slopes and your official excuse to be reckless with your PTO while exploring new terrain without the sticker shock.
Each pass includes two days of skiing or riding at every resort, plus 50% off additional lift tickets. Even if you don’t have a Mountain Collective pass but already hold a Whiteface Mountain Ski3 full-season pass, you can still get 50% off lift tickets at all premier Collective resorts. Your local pass just became a global launching pad! It’s the ultimate way to expand your ski and snowboard adventures beyond your backyard mountains.
Why Whiteface Mountain is a must-visit ski resort
If you’re a Mountain Collective passholder looking to check out the newest addition, Whiteface Mountain is where your next adventure begins. From wide-open cruisers to adrenaline-pumping steeps, every run comes with breathtaking Adirondack views that make the ride as scenic as it is exciting.
Whiteface Mountain has a little something for everyone. For park lovers, there are five distinct terrain parks and features to test your skills, while families and beginners can enjoy the Bear Den area, designed for a fun, approachable experience. Scenic gondola rides give everyone a chance to soak in the stunning views, and the summit lift puts you at the top of the mountain, where you could spend hours running summit laps. For those who like a little uphill challenge, a sunrise skin up the mountain offers an unforgettable way to start your day. And when conditions are right and terrain is open, experienced backcountry skiers can take things to the next level by skiing Whiteface’s iconic slides, chasing fresh powder in one of the mountain’s most rugged and rewarding environments.
Après enthusiasts are well taken care of too, with the Cloudspin Bar & Grill, The Spa at Whiteface Lodge, and plenty of lodging and dining options in Wilmington. Off the slopes, Lake Placid is just a short drive away, with a charming Main Street to explore, ice skating on Mirror Lake, and abundant opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing across the region. A trip to Whiteface Mountain is already worth it for the skiing alone, but the Adirondacks offer a well-rounded getaway that makes it an essential stop for anyone looking to branch out on their Mountain Collective pass.
