A celebrity athlete will accompany guests for the duration of the trip, providing insights and serving as an expert guide. Each guest receives a Mountain Collective Pass, valid for the entire 2014-2015 season at all seven Mountain Collective destinations. A few additional perks include early access to the lifts for first tracks, complimentary breakfast each morning and après ski cocktails and snacks.
