Alta just released their pass prices for this season and I noticed at the bottom that there is a new program called the Mountain Collective (TM) that is offered through Liftopia.

So for $349 between now and 11/19/12 you get two free days at each of these resorts, and then 50% off tickets thereafter:
*Alta
*Aspen/Snowmass
*Jackson Hole
*Alpine Meadows
*Squaw Valley
Methinks that this is to compete with Monarch's pass.
Another good option for those that want to come out west every once in a while.....
