:unsure:Are there any IKON locations in the northeast that do NOT use RFID?

Thank you.

Right. I guess the only question/confusion is if the handheld scanners display a photo. Mailman?
I’m not 100% sure if they had a picture come up on the scanners but I doubt it. Given the passes have a photo right above the bar code, they could look at the photo on the pass while they were scanning it, regardless of whether they had a photo pop up on their scanners.

Looking at the VT act 250 permit for Stratton it appears that RFID gates are being placed at the Gondola, AMEX, South American, Villager, Tamarack, Cub Carpet and URSA. Nothing shown for Sunrise, Solstice, Shooter and Snow Bowl.

That’s interesting.

All of the lifts you mentioned for RFID are at or near the main base with the exception of URSA at mid mountain where they didn’t scan passes last year. It seems like they’d have to scan at Sunrise and Solstice too, although I guess they could use RFID hand scanners.
