Alli recaps her eventful ski season, including trips to Alta, Heavenly, Grand Targhee, and resorts in Austria and Germany.Alli knows ski passes better than anyone, so we talked updates on major ski passes.  Epic Pass did not have major updates, but did add the location of Crans, Montana (Switzerland) to their offering. Both Epic and Ikon Passes continued to increase prices for the upcoming season. The Indy Pass continues to be very popular, but sells out fast. And Alli recommends the Mountain Collective pass for occasional ski trips to big resorts.Alli shares some exciting new enhancements recently launched by Avant Ski, including a great new website with helpful features like resort guides, inspiration lists, and expanded trip planning services. We were excited to hear that Avant Ski is now offering flights, 5,000+ hotel partners, and local guide connections for full-service ski travel.  Booking your ski trip through Avant Ski saves you time and gives you great perks like free breakfast, room upgrades, late checkout - and you pay the same as if you booked yourself.Alli also shares some of her favorite family-friendly resort recommendations across the regions. This season The Ski Moms community is planning to organize a midweek ski trips to connect with other moms.
