so i skied at mt.hood meadows for most of the day today, using my season pass to ski(normal) then i went to ski bowl for some night skiing, every thing was normal checked my pass with the hand scanner thing every time i got on the lift.(a little out of the norm for the bowl) when i got home i realized that i never switched my meadows pass to my ski bowl pass, but the scanner was saying it was a skibowl pass.

i just thought that was strange that they didnt say anything about me not having the right pass all night

My home mountain, Shawnee Peak has the cheapest scanners possible. About 25% of the time it doesn't even scan properly, they just let you go anyways.

My hill has robots. You ski up, rub your buddies season pass on it, and it puts its arm down and lets you through. Its great.
