Mexico
STOWE, Vermont; TAOS, New Mexico – August 11, 2015 – The Mountain Collective™ has widened their geographic
reach with the addition of two iconic destinations to its roster. Stowe joins the Mountain Collective as their first resort
on the East Coast, while Taos extends passholder access into New Mexico. The resorts join Sun Valley, AltaSnowbird,
Aspen Snowmass, Ski Banff-Lake Louise-Sunshine Village, Jackson Hole, Mammoth Mountain, Squaw Valley/Alpine
Meadows, Thredbo and Whistler Blackcomb in offering unparalleled access to the best ski and snowboard terrain the
world has to offer.
Stowe Mountain Resort, located just outside the vibrant city of Burlington in northern Vermont, offers the best of East
Coast skiing and riding between the inter-connected Spruce Peak and Mt. Mansfield, the highest elevation in the state.
Stowe regularly receives over 300 inches of snow each season and covers 80% of their diverse terrain with world-class
snowmaking, offering the very best snow surfaces east of the Rocky Mountains.
Passholders will have access to 485
acres of terrain over a 2,360 foot vertical drop.
“Stowe Mountain Resort is delighted to be part of Mountain Collective,” says Robert McEleney, President & CEO of
Stowe Mountain Resort. “As the only Eastern resort amongst 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.
Stowe Mountain Resort, a place we call ‘bigger than a mountain,’ combines skiing’s most storied
history with new enhancements that range from outdoor ice skating to a new children’s Adventure Center and base area
village at Spruce Peak.”
Taos, New Mexico has long been appreciated as an authentic, big mountain experience, from wide-open groomers and
bowls to tree-lined glades, bumps and chutes. Topping out at 12,450 feet, their Kachina Peak Lift gives guests direct
access to expansive terrain along with spectacular views of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range.
Passholders will enjoy
newly renovated base area facilities and a world class ski school.
