Aspen is investing nearly $8 million in on-mountain improvements for the coming winter.
The famous Colorado resort will provide guests with a 100 percent hands-free radio frequency gate access program across the four mountains of Aspen/Snowmass.
The Aspen Skiing Company believes it will be the only resort in North America to have 100 percent hands-free access.
Lift tickets will be a plastic card with a chip inside detecting guests as they move through lift lines.
There’ll be no longer any need for guest to dig in their pocket to find their pass or ticket, allowing for smooth and quick access to the slopes.
Besides the new and improved ticket system, a tunnel to ease skier traffic will be built on Buttermilk above the terrain park – specifically above Uncle Chucks Glades – to separate terrain park traffic and regular skier traffic.
