DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Coronavirus crisis will have a major impact on ski resorts this winter. The pandemic will force ski resorts to find ways to reduce face-to-face interactions between guests and staff, and the cancellation of J1 visas will make it difficult for ski resorts to find sufficient staff to handle day-to-day operations. For most ski resorts, automated ski access technology can help alleviate these challenges.
“Automated ski access technology has long been an important management tool and guest amenity that improves the skiing experience,” said John Keefe, SKIDATA Vice President. “No one foresaw that it could also promote public health or help resorts overcome staffing challenges, but in today’s world those added benefits will be essential to mountain operations.”
SKIDATA introduced RFID access control to the ski industry as a revenue management tool that provides data about lift and resort utilization. It also offers operational efficiencies and reduces the risk of lift access fraud. Automated access has also proven to be a popular user amenity that dramatically improves the guest experience.
The benefits of ski access technology start in guests’ homes and extend to the slopes and lodge operations. Guests have the option to purchase lift tickets online from the comfort of their homes and print their tickets or have them sent to their personal mobile devices. For skiers who prefer to purchase RFID passes and tickets, SKIOSK™ stand-alone ticket kiosks can permit guests to purchase lift tickets that can also be used for lodge access without standing in crowded ticket lines. In addition to being more convenient, remote and SKIOSK™ purchasing also promotes public health by allowing skiers to avoid crowded lines to purchase lift tickets.
On-slope access readers also promote public health and help alleviate staffing challenges. The readers are located at the entry to ski lifts and automatically read guests’ RFID tags and bar code enabled lift tickets. The technology significantly reduces face-to-face interactions between guests and staff, and these interactions can be further reduced when resorts utilize automated check point technology in conjunction with remote monitoring tools like Operation Center/Gate Service displayed on a tablet or desktop computer. In addition to promoting public health, automating the lift ticket reading process also helps overcome staffing shortages caused by the cancellation of J1 visas because staff who may have been assigned to lift lines can be reassigned to other tasks.
“Automating lift ticket reading benefits both skiers and mountain operations,” said Keefe. “The Coronavirus has everyone looking for outdoor activities that are safe and healthy. Skiing can provide the perfect solution this winter, and by minimizing face-to-face staff/guest interactions, ski access technology can make skiing safer, healthier, and easier to manage.”

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The ski industry is at the beginning of what promises to be a challenging year. The Covid-19 pandemic has complicated the 2020/21 ski season for many resorts. However, skiing can be the perfect, healthy recreational option for active people, and ski resorts can benefit from the natural advantages skiing offers during a pandemic.
“Skiing is the perfect option for people who are looking for active, yet safe and healthy recreation this winter,” said John Keefe, SKIDATA Director of New Business Development. “SKIDATA is committed to helping our mountain partners thrive this winter by offering ways to support a safe, socially distanced skiing experience. We do that by providing a completely frictionless experience that allows skiers to reserve their access credentials from home and then use the same credential for parking, to access the slopes, to enter lodges, and to make prepaid purchases. Frictionless access is safer for both skiers and staff during this pandemic, and it’s much more convenient and enjoyable for guests.”
What’s new in ski access technology to help ski resorts prosper in this winter of Covid-19?
Social Distancing with Ski Access Technology
The key to providing a safe and health skiing experience is to limit face-to-face interactions between guests and staff and between guests. Automated ski access technology can provide a safer and healthier skiing experience by automatically reading RFID passes and tickets and eliminating the need for staff to monitor lift tickets.
Natural Access
SKIDATA recently earned international acclaim when we introduced a naturally-sourced ski ticket made of wood for guests of the Kitzbühel Bergbahn AG in Austria. Each of the RFID cards is unique and controls regular access functions when kept in a sleeve or breast pocket of the skier’s jacket. The wood used for manufacturing the card comes from FSC-certified woods in the Alps, and the tickets make a wonderful souvenir for guests.

Common Access Platforms
The key to success (and guest health) this year will be limiting face-to-face interactions. To that end, SKIDATA has introduced access technologies that can work across multiple platforms. With SKIDATA’s common access technology, guests can use the same credential to gain access to ski lifts, lodges, and other entry points that typically require a unique pass or access provided by security personnel. The credentials can be provided on RFID passes and tickets and can even work with patrons’ personal cell phones. They can be purchased beforehand with a desktop computer or personal device, or through a special automated kiosk. SKIDATA’s Common Access Platforms promote the health and welfare of ski resorts’ patrons and employees by limiting face-to-face interactions.
“2020 was an extraordinarily successful year for SKIDATA that saw us partner with a record number of new resorts in the United States and Canada,” said Keefe. “That means that 2021 will be a much more enjoyable season for many more skiers who will be able to enjoy the benefits of frictionless access.”
