Previously a global affiliate, Niseko United will join the Mountain Collective as a full partner for the 2018/19 season, expanding the breadth of the Collective with full partner destinations in five countries, and affiliates in two more.

With the addition of Big Sky and Niseko United, each 2018-19 passholder will receive two days at each of the collective destinations, bringing the total ski days available from full partners to 34 days at 17 unique destinations.
Colin Hackworth, President of Japan’s Niseko United resort Hanazono, said, “The four resorts of Niseko United are delighted to be joining the Mountain Collective as a full partner. The fabled powder of Niseko awaits all Mountain Collective riders dreaming of their opportunity to visit one of the most storied deep snow resorts on the planet.”
