How many of your hills have TECHNOLOGY?

This is sort of a pointless thread, just wondering how many hills have pillars at the beginning of lift lines to read your tickets instead of people with the little guns? Because my local hill does, but no other resort I've been to has them. I think it is both convenient and pretty smart from the resort standpoint. Plus they read through the pocket.
Just out of interest.

Oh Rob thanks for making me laugh hahah... and my hill has students from Brazil who got tricked into coming to Wisconsin for their summer who rarely actually check lift tickets.

Damian is one of the most stoked people I've ever met.
But they are religious about scanning, which is pretty annoying considering that they've seen you and your whole crew only 5 minutes and 10 minutes previous when you did your last laps through the park.

hahah that lift is such a lazy mans lift, you lean up against the gate and then machines do the rest, gate openes magic carpet takes you to loading point and chair picks you up, so dope.

So jealous.... I am happy to report that my homebase's vertical drop is 292 feet (89 m) and happens to have a chair lift.... Only takes about 8x longer to ride the chair up then it does to get down.

We have people who put stickers on your pass and 1 chair and on pow days no one checks it cause they are all riding. It is really easy to sneak on.

copper has it, but only for the beeline, which is like 50 extra bucks for the day, and you get to skip the line basically, but its dumb because gapers use it and they only do like 5 runs in a day anyways.
