"We are thrilled to have been invited to join the Mountain Collective as the first international member of this collection of North America's most impressive destination ski resorts. Among Mountain Collective's criteria for membership, is to be the best in breed in our destination so to have the endorsement of some of the best global ski brands underpins Thredbo's positioning in the Australian market. Thredbo's membership delivers great value for our premium season pass holders, many of whom ski in the northern hemisphere in our summer and will hopefully introduce more skiers and snowboarders to Thredbo's slopes by virtue of the complimentary days on offer to Mountain Collective pass holders," said Thredbo General Manager, Jordan Rodgers.

"Thredbo is widely considered to be the finest mountain resort in Australia and their customer base aligns well with the other leading destinations in the Mountain Collective. Expanding our presence in key global markets, such as Sydney, with strong partners like Thredbo ultimately benefits skiers and riders in Australia," said Christian Knapp, vice president of marketing, Aspen Skiing Company.

In addition to being able to ski or ride at nine leading destinations, extra benefits available to Mountain Collective pass holders include exclusive lodging deals and a complimentary, one-year Protect Our Winters (protectourwinters.org) membership.
