March 2026 System Update

New RFID Cards Required Starting March 12

We are transitioning to a new ticketing and pass system powered by SnowCloud.

Beginning Thursday, March 12, all guests must receive a new RFID card before accessing the lifts.

This is a planned system upgrade designed to support long-term improvements to the guest experience across passes, lift tickets, rentals, ski school, and retail.

What You Need to Know

At your first visit on or after March 12:

  • All guests must receive a new RFID card
  • Old RFID cards will no longer scan at lifts
  • Cards cannot be picked up before March 12

Please plan to stop at ticketing before heading to the lifts, and allow a few extra minutes on your first visit after March 12. Ticketing opens at 8:00am, and lifts begin spinning at 9:00am.

Where to Pick Up Your New RFID Card

New cards are available at:

  • Ticket Office
  • Rental Desk
  • Ski School Desk
  • Designated staff positioned in the base area

If you are unsure where to go, any staff member can direct you.

What is Changing?

  • Passes, lift tickets, rentals, ski school, and retail are moving to the new system
  • Rental sizing information will not transfer and may need to be re-entered
  • Some existing waivers may need to be re-signed

What is Staying the Same?
