Indy Ski Pass

[ceo]

Went to Berkshire East last Saturday having made a reservation on my RFID card from last year. It was unclear from their website whether I had to redeem my Indy Pass at the ticket office, so straight to the lift I went, only for the gate to give me the angry beep instead of the happy beep. The attendant let me on anyway; turned out I did need to redeem it. Noted for next time.
They did not charge me $5, since I already had an RFID card.
I really like Berkshire East, for a small mountain they have a lot of interesting terrain. Planning to take a friend skiing this year (she's been once before), figure it's a good place to go because they have some fun green-circle cruisers from the top.

Good to know. I still have a card from two years ago. Hopefully it works. Yes, Berkshire East is a cool little place

Last year we brought older ones that they said needed to be replaced. No charge.

Skied Magic yesterday and used my RFID card from last year. Aside from making the reservation in advance, the process was simple and quick at the counter. As a matter of fact, if you have a reservation and already have the RFID card, you can go to the machine(s) in front of ticket window and activate right there w/o having to work with anyone.

BTW conditions were good. Tali and Sorcerer were "interesting" with the snowmaking whales. Recommend Up Your Sleeve" if you're looking for good snow and natural terrain.

I reserved last night for today and went straight to the lift. No stopping at the window. Second visit last season as well. Today was a solid day, probably my best ever non powder day at Magic.

Hotel prices in general have increased in New England but this year I have found it to be the worse so far since Covid '20-'21
