DENVER (AP) — Whistler Blackcomb is testing an app that lets people use their iPhones and Android-based smartphones as ski passes.
Season pass holders or people with the Canadian resort's frequency cards can download the free app. Their phones will be scanned to get on lifts, much as phones can be scanned as your boarding pass at the airport.
The app lets skiers and snowboarders track their vertical feet and speed; get real-time updates on weather, what runs are groomed and lift status; take photos to post on Facebook or Twitter; and more -- all the functions being used for the first time this season in Colorado via EpicMix.
The app, called Whistler Blackcomb Live Powered by Telus, was developed by Avon-based Resort Technology Partners.
