Wow, that is liable to make people stay home, when they see how long the wait times are during peak vacation times.

Brilliant. They have invented something the typical Vail skier thinks they need.

I'm sure that it will do nothing to prevent the classic Vail "Shit! I'm stuck in the bottom of a bowl with a trillion of my best friends and this is the only way out" effect. It'll only increase the herd mentality that is prevalent at Ski Resorts. "Hey, everyone else is stuck in China Bowl, it must be EPIC over there!".

My guess is an early season dump, probably Xmas week.

Look at the snowboarder in the bottom of the picture, he thinks he's part of both lines. He completes the circle.

I wonder if the lifty at 22 will be posting the EV stats?

This will make people not ski... unless they use the same reporting methodology they use for snow totals at Breck... then it will just piss people off more.

Serious question: how the hell is the app going to know when you first got in line vs. when you crossed under the scanner closer to the lift?

I understand how Epic Mix RFID passes work (I have one) - what I'm saying is, all that thing does is register at the lift when you cross under the bar. That doesn't tell you shit about how long you waited to get there.
