Indy Ski Pass

[jaytrem]

Stuart has Ripley and Skaneateles as allied. Indy map has them and full. I wonder which is correct?

Looks like allied, that map needs some work! Ripley is really cool for a smaller place, short but steep.

I'm pleased that Dartmouth has been added. Never skied there.

WB would have been nice, but they're so close to failing, I just assume pay for tickets there directly.

Whaleback was added…

I’m glad Whaleback made it after leaving our pass. As far as I know, as of last Wednesday, that wasn’t the case. Perhaps Indy decided to make themselves look a little better by adding them last minute. If nothing else, I’m glad this situation helped get Whaleback on the pass. It will certainly help them out. Just wish it all went down differently.

Whaleback can definitely use the revenue that comes from a bump in skier traffic. So much so, that they really could’ve used the increased traffic that would’ve resulted from the sale of both of these passes. This situation still doesn’t make any sense to me.

Agreed. But I do understand, Indy Pass is running a business and they are trying to protect their house. They have every right to demand exclusivity. I personally wouldn’t run a business by putting my partners in that position the way they did. But then again what do I know, Indy is much bigger than our pass so they have done something right.

Size is certainly no indicator of right or wrong.

Skaneateles as allied

This is true. Map may be incorrect.

From what I have seen, if there is going to be a new blockbuster partner in the east (a la Jay Peak) there will be some significant pregame hype.

 

[Smellytele]

Anyway be have any word when the actual new physical Indy passes will be sent out?

 

[Harvey]

They are going out now, in batches.

 

[Bosco DaSkia]

but you don't speak for them...

 

[Harvey]

Smellytele asked a question. I figured I could get an answer so I asked, and shared the answer.

I never imagined the whole conspiracy would be exposed.

 

[Harvey]

Correction, update: everything will be in the mail by Monday.

 

[Smellytele]

Just noticed that the indy website is new and "improved"...

Arrived in mail today. Cool to see Magic when first opening the envelope.

So it's not an RFID card? What's the point of getting this rather than just using photo ID?

The point is plastic garbage to throw away for people on Facebook who think it’s necesssry

It is an RFID card ( explicitly stated at https://www.indyskipass.com/shop/indy-base-pass where it also mentions “direct-to-lift access at select Indy resorts” ) But not sure if any of the Indy ski areas that use RFID have integrated it into their scanning systems yet ? Even without that, the new cards should speed things up at the ticket window because they no longer have to type in the name of every Indy pass holder ahead of you in line.

 

[chuckstah]

It is RFID from Entibani Systems, the owners of Indy. It will be direct to lift at the resorts that use Entabani, Cannon for sure, and Magic as well, new this season. I thought the system was terrible at Cannon last season with crazy long lines and long wait times at the window.

 

[camberstick]

Ours arrived today, now to get some terrain opened up to make it worthwhile to use them
