Are they requiring customers to contact them for a new card? Or are they simply putting a new one in the mail? Seems like if it was the former that you might not be far off.

Report indicates its running today but the bobcat is not. I was there yesterday and it the opposite. I planned on going back today and skiing off the bobcat as I seem to be struggling all of a sudden. Calling it off instead.

you can go get one printed at any mountain with minimal effort. sure a trip to customer service is a bit of a pain but certainly easier than waiting for a card in the mail.
and the phone thing is silly I won't be using that . As mentioned its a battery drain to have the NFC being used regularly and it just opens them up to obtaining more data that I don't want them to have.
The battery on my phone drains quickly enough as is in cold weather...count me as someone that certainly has no interest in using my phone as a pass.
No F'ing way am I giving them access to my Phone !
No answer at all from both Attitash and WildCat guest services. Typical for these assholes....
Left a message, BUT I highly doubt anyone will ever call back.
Neighbor said there were a ton of folks at guest services yesterday all wanting new passes.
Wait was over an hour just to talk to someone

While I agree that I don't care for the idea of giving access to my phone, I think it's inevitable.
Just look at the concert industry. Pretty much all Ticketmaster shows now require the app for entry vs a hard copy ticket.
It's just the way society is heading.

That's a little different as that's a 1 time showing of a QR code or barcode to get into the venue. Very different than requiring someone to be running an app the whole time you're in that venue...
It's still a pain in the ass for people like me that don't put their entire lives on a cell phone and don't carry them everywhere, sleep with them. etc... I carry my cell when skiing. Otherwise it's near the charger at home or IN the car.

For shows I usually take a screen shot as cell service is not always a given. No app.

Thought the app had to be open. Does the app require cell service? All my apps do...

It is just what you have downloaded on your phone not Nondownloaded music

Just like you’ve downloaded the epic app. It will send a signal on bt.
I read about that at Killington. That's pretty messed up if you ask me. You want to bust people for pouching by catching them in the act, that's fine. But tracking the whereabouts of your customers for anything but a SAR is pretty intrusive of their privacy.
