I am getting a bit annoyed with all the ski areas switching over to RFID - many do not include the price of the RFID in their ticket price, and they pass it off as an "improved customer experience." Climbing though the massive RFID gates and trying to get the thing to beep is not my idea of an improved customer experience.
I get that:
1) They need to hire one less person to check tickets
2) It is easier for them to catch people not paying
3) It is, in some cases, possible to bypass the ticket window and reload a card
But passing it off as an improved experience to the skier, and not including it in the advertised lift ticket price, is kind of annoying.
End of rant, carry on. Temperature is dropping here and I look forward to a cold week...
