4 western ski destinations offer single pass

DENVER (AP) — Four of the top ski destinations in the West are offering a single pass for the upcoming season.

The resorts include Alta in Utah, Aspen/Snowmass in Colorado, Jackson Hole in Wyoming and Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows in California.

The Mountain Collective Pass will cost $349 and includes two free days at each of the four destinations, plus a 50 percent discount on unlimited lift tickets at each one.

Aspen Skiing Co. vice president Christian Knapp said Tuesday the collective pass is a new concept that gives winter sports enthusiasts a wide range of choices.
