RE: New RFID gate at North Peak Quad. I asked the pretty young lady who was standing at the entrance with the tablet about why this was installed and she said it was more about data collection on what type of pass was being used as opposed to catching cheaters. I opened the conversation by saying you would have to catch alot of poachers to get back your ROI and that went completly over her head.First day at Loon this year, not bad. Did t ski there much last year but noticed they abandoned their ability to make snow on Picaroon. They used to drag guns and hose from 7Bros to make Pic but they redid the lines for Klik hydrants on 7Bros And abandoned the old pipes and standard hydrants. Hmmm, odd for a low elevation resort to abandon snowmaking on a low elevation run.
Also, they added RFID gates to North Peak Express but only the "normal" entrance side to the maze. Guess they are just trying catch any lift poachers midweek as they said East Basin isn't getting any.
