BIG SKY RESORT
BIG SKY – Gone are
the days of paper tickets, removing gloves and fumbling with lanyards to
present a ticket or pass to load the chairlifts at Big Sky Resort. This summer,
Big Sky Resort will install Axess smart gates equipped with radio-frequency
identification (RFID) technology at select lifts that serve as access points to
the mountain. RFID allows a ticket or season pass to be scanned from inside a
pocket, keeping hands warm and ski days smooth.
Starting in the
2019-2020 ski season, all winter lift tickets and season pass products will be
loaded on to a Sky Card equipped with RFID technology. RFID gates will be
installed will automatically open with active media.
“RFID technology
allows for a guest-friendly lift ticket and season pass process, making it
easier than ever to load lifts and add additional days to your pass without
visiting the ticket window,” said Troy Nedved, vice president of mountain
services for Big Sky Resort.
All Sky Card media
will be electronically reloadable for added guest convenience. Once guests have
a Sky Card, days can be reloaded online, eliminating the need to visit the
ticket window to update passes or lift tickets.
