Mountain Capital Partners: More Than $37.5 Million in Mountain Infrastructure Improvements

Capital improvements across the network are designed to expand terrain access, improve reliability and enhance the guest experience ahead of the 2026-27 season:

Pajarito, N.M.: A major snowmaking project will significantly increase coverage and allow for consistent daily operations for the first time in the mountain�s history.
Lee Canyon, Nev.: The resort will debut its fourth new lift in three years. The new fixed-grip quad will expand access to West Bowl and open additional terrain for the Las Vegas community.
Purgatory, Colo.: Construction is moving forward on the Gelande Lift, a fixed-grip triple chair that will provide lift access from Gelande parking lot and open five new expert trails. Additional upgrades include improvements to Lift 1 control systems and continued snowmaking expansion in key areas of the mountain.
Valle Nevado and La Parva, Chile: More than $17.5 million in improvements are debuting for the 2026 Southern Hemisphere season. This includes the new Aconcagua Ski Residences, modernized lift infrastructure and expanded snowmaking, along with other significant upgrades to create one of the largest seamless skiable domains in the Andes.
Kids 12 and Younger Still Ski Free Globally
Power Kids remains the only season pass in the country to offer children 12 and younger free skiing with no purchase required and no blackout dates. The benefit extends across two hemispheres, with unlimited access to Power Pass mountains in the U.S. and Chile, plus free mountain bike uplifts at U.S. bike parks.

Passholder Experience Enhancements

Several updates for the 2026-27 season are designed to improve access, flexibility and overall value:

RFID Access: All U.S. Power Pass mountains will transition to RFID technology, replacing manual scans with hands-free lift access.
Expanded 50% Off Tickets: Most passes now include six 50% off winter or summer uplift tickets, an increase from the previous 35% discount.
The Lowest Monthly Payments: The 0% interest payment plan has been extended through February 2027.
Support for Every Age: The Power Pass continues its legacy of tiered pricing, with dedicated discounted rates for ages 13 to 18, 19 to 24, 25 to 29 and 30 to 36 to help keep the sport affordable as guests grow beyond the Power Kids years.
