West Mountain started using the RFID Chip-embedded West Express Card that triggers and opens the new access gates that are located at each lift. One of the best features of RFID&#8230;..your ticket time for skiing starts the first time you go through one of the access gates. A 2-hour time slot still applies for tubing.\n<h3>RELOADS<\/h3>\n<p>If you already have an RFID West Express Card, please<a href=\"#\" data-accesso-keyword=\"WTP\">RELOAD HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>and input the WTP number located on the card.<\/p>\n\n<h3>What is RFID?<\/h3>\nRFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification Device and consists of a small circuit integrated into your Season Pass or day ticket. When you pass through the lift line, this circuit will register and open an access gate automatically for hands-free and streamlined lift access.\n<h3>RFID and West Mountain Season Pass and ticket Holders<\/h3>\nBeginning in 22-23, Season Passes and tickets will look and feel very different. The RFID-enabled West Express Card will open the new access gates and allow for lift loading. With the card&#8217;s durability, your Season Pass or ticket will be conveniently re-loadable <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.westmountain.com\/WTPLoad.aspx\">HERE<\/a> using the WTP number located on the card! As always, your Season Passes and tickets are for personal use only, non-transferable, and cannot be resold. 22-23 Season Passes can be picked up at the front desk inside the Main Lodge beginning Wednesday, December 7. You want to hold on to this card <img decoding=\"async\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/svg\/1f60a.svg\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude0a\" \/>\n<h3>WHAT DO I NEED TO DO BEFORE ACCESSING THE LIFTS?<\/h3>\n<p>You must have a ticket\/pass loaded onto your RFID card <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.westmountain.com\/WTPLoad.aspx\">HERE<\/a> before accessing any lifts. Guests can only take one card through the lift access gates per day. Online Ticket<\/p>\n<h3><strong>HOW SHOULD I USE MY RFID CARD WHEN SKIING\/SNOWBOARDING\/TUBING?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/westmountain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/RFID-Image-1-237x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"237\" height=\"300\" \/>You should store your West Express RFID card in a secure, left-handed zipped pocket on its own; the card must be separate from cell phones, bank cards, keys, or any aluminum products like foil gum packaging. Do not have more than one RFID card on you at a time, including RFID cards from other resorts. Most modern ski\/snowboard jackets have a built-in RFID pocket located on the lower left sleeve, which is ideal to keep your RFID card separate from other objects.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>WHAT ABOUT LANYARDS, KEYRINGS, RETRACTABLE PASS HOLDERS, ETC.?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You will not need to remove your RFID card from your pocket for lift access unless there is a card read error. Punching a hole through your card will cause damage, rendering your card inactive. If you punch a hole in in your card, you will need to purchase a replacement RFID card.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REPLACE A LOST OR DAMAGED RFID CARD?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Damaged or lost cards are subject to a $6 replacement fee.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO REACTIVATE A CARD IF THE CARD IS DEACTIVATED FOR BAD BEHAVIOR\/CONDUCT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Deactivated cards are subject to a $100 reactivation fee.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<h4>OUR HEALTH MEASURES<\/h4>\nSince your well-being is at the heart of our concerns, several health measures are in place and we ask for your cooperation to meet the State of New York&#8217;s recommendations as they are a priority.
