RFID system
The only thing I don't support, but I'll deal with.
Long live the Beast -- great improvements overall
Why not? I had my doubts at first when SB announced RFID for this year...but so far it is pretty great (Except for people that can't follow directions on where to place the pass and to not have anything else in the same pocket with it)
I prefer the old school vibe of a simple lift ticket and random/limited ticket checks.

And the choke point around the scanner because he is trying to scan the same person for 2 minutes and morons just stand there and wait while empty chairs go up?
In fairness... I have seen similar with rfid when a gate does not open etc...

I could see the venerable Snowdon Triple being used as a Killington Ski Club/Killington Mtn school athlete's only lift when the new 6 pack is running. Since while the KMS/KSC athlete's will be getting a new, dedicated race training area with the moving of the Snowdon Poma over to Swirl on Ramshead, I'm guessing that they'll still use Highline and Conclusion as training venues as wellDefinitely good to have something high speed on Snowdon but a 6pack seems like a lot of people in a small-ish area especially if the triple sticks around... admittedly haven't been to K outside of early/late season in a while but Snowdon never seemed like a super huge area.
