Somebody on Blues Facebook asked if you can use this years season pass to get a 10% discount in next years season pass...wow just wow. Referral info. I was hoping we could all work a system to refer each other and collect on this, but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPIC has RFID readers and it tracks the vertical feet of the lift and you don't need to be connected to the internet for it to track. The tracking is connected to your pass. Over the years, I've had a mix of Epic and other mountain passes but it's interesting to look back on the seasons. IKON uses your phone's locations, similar to the app, SkiTracks. You have to go into your phone and click on start tracking. I've found that it's not as reliable because you need to have solid service on the mountain for it to actually track and it drains your phone battery especially in colder climates. But, it's interesting because it creates a little pie chart of difficulty. The Epic app connects with facebook and shows what friends are at the mountain and what lift they're on. The Ikon app, if you're tracking, will show real time what run they're going down. It's helpful for big mountains and trying to find people. But, for PASR and Blue ... I'm sure if you wait some time, you'll find your friends by the meats. Its partly a stupid competition but here are some screen shots of how other mountain passes track it.

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 RFID system will be radical if it’s connected to phone app I don’t like the battery drain plus trying to lay off apps in 2020 unless somebody at the table orders nachos or potato skins then I’m going in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered why they never actually did it, as it would give them something to differentiate from the local competition. No more fudging your stats on PASR! You know, originally I also thought this would be easy. But then, as I sat at the gates furiously trying in vain to get it to read my card, I realized that this would never work since they are opened manually half the time.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night I was going through the gate that worked for everybody because it was down. I could have had a Weis market saver card last night and got through.

Schif Posted February 12, 2020 Report Share Posted February 12, 2020 I would be curious to see what is on that little ipad they use to manually open the gates up. What's the user interface like? probably the strangest question of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
