Select passholders will receive the cell phone-enabled
redemption system this fall, and certain partner resorts using
Entabeni’s point-of-sale software will have direct-to-lift
capabilities.
Indy Pass previewed its latest innovation today, announcing it
will release a new digital and interactive Indy Pass in the fall of
2024. The digital pass leverages BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy)
technology and is supported by additional secure on-screen
redemption options. The technology goes beyond lift access, with
self-service functions including waiver, pass photos, experience
tracking, and payments.
Indy Pass resort partners that leverage Entabeni’s suite of ski
area management applications will be at the forefront of this
innovation. They will exclusively participate in direct-to-lift,
tap-to-redeem programs, or both. Magic Mountain, Vermont, Beaver
Mountain, Utah, and Bluewood, Washington, have confirmed their
participation in this cutting-edge technology.
Utilizing new scanning hardware at the participating resorts,
Indy passholders selected for the program will have their visits
expedited by going directly to the lift or using a faster ticket
window process.
“We are not looking at this technology to replace a physical
pass on day one, but for most skiers and riders, that will be the
future,” reassured Indy Pass Director Erik Mogensen. He added,
“Indy Pass is committed to making thoughtful and practical
iterations over time. We aim to address many of the challenges in
skiing with the help of technology.”
Indy Pass is unique because its hardware and software are
designed, built, and supported in-house by parent company Entabeni
Systems of Colorado. Entabeni's singular mission is to create B2B
and B2C products that keep independent ski areas competitive and
viable.
