Using RFIDs

[billski]

Yeah, yeah, I know how to use them.

So what happens if I put a Jay card in one pocket and a Stowe card in another pocket? Am I destined for a major screw-up?

They both get the skier visit count.

Stowe advises you not to put your Stowe RFID near other RFID cards.

Stowe advises you not to put your Stowe RFID near other RFID cards.

So I put them in different pockets, left and right. Is that enough?

What does that mean? They bill me twice? Or I get twice as many runs entered? Or???

It means they can market the resort as being able to ski over 100 miles (or whatever the distance is between the mountains) of open terrain.

I'd try it but would not be surprised if it didn't work. I had no problems at Ragged but I followed the instructions to the letter. Based on what I saw the system seems a bit finicky.

The cards may interfere with each other and make it difficult to read the signal. The liftie might have you pull the card out so they can scan it cleanly. Nothing bad can happen, the Jay reader doesn't care about the Stowe ID.

Yes. That is enough. Same goes for celphones and MP3 players. Keep them away from the RFID card.

Question to Billski (off-topic): When you reload the Stowe RFID, how do you get it credited to the Stowe Points card?

 

[billski]

Yes. That is enough.

David doesn't think so...

 

[David Metsky]

David doesn't think so...

When did I say that? Different pockets should be far enough apart not to interfere.

It will alter the space-time continuum

It means that Green Mountain Coffee Roasters gets to claim a new office at Jay!

Don't know what happens but I usually have no less then 3 RFID cards on me at any given time and I've never had problems. Work, Ski, FD. Used to have 2 for work. You would think work or FD would say something to me if I was causing a problem.
