They’re squarely in the heat of summer, but ski season is just a few months away. With visions of hitting the slopes, Alaska Airlines is rewarding the Mileage Plan members with a new partnership with The Mountain Collective – a seasonal ski pass program that provides access to 24 ski resorts around the world.

The Mileage Plan members who purchase a season pass with The Mountain Collective will receive 5,000 bonus miles and a third day free at a resort of their choice. Mileage Plan elites will also earn an additional 5,000 bonus miles (that’s 10,000 bonus miles total!) when they sign up with The Mountain Collective. The limited-time offer* is available between Aug. 3-Sept. 25, 2023.

Alaska and airline partners can take you (and your skis) to any of the resorts that are part of The Mountain Collective.

They can fly you to destinations across the Western U.S. and Canada including Alta Ski Area, Big Sky Resort, Jackson Hole, Revelstoke, Snowbird, Sun Valley and Taos Ski Valley.

The global partners can fly you to the international resorts in France and Japan, and to Australia, New Zealand and Chile for year-round skiing in the Southern Hemisphere. 

By the way, ski and snowboard equipment are considered normal checked bags when flying on Alaska – only standard baggage fees and waivers apply with no additional fees tacked on. And if you’re a Mileage Plan elite flyer or you have the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card, you get checked bags for free – so your gear flies free.

The Mountain Collective pass provides two days of skiing at each of the participating resorts across five continents with the option to purchase additional days at a discounted rate with no blackout dates. Through Sept. 25, the pass costs $630 for adults (13 and up), $500 for teenagers (ages 13-18) and $200 for children under 12. The more you ski at the different resorts, the lower your overall daily cost.
