During the first phase of the project, El Colorado introduced access controls primarily at the ski lifts, which provide access to the mountain station. This is where the access readers were installed. Ski passes were available from existing POS or via the Internet. The option of booking ski passes online is extremely interesting for El Colorado from a financial point of view. This preferred and easy sales method, which was realized through SKIDATA’s partner Webdreams, also increases customer loyalty. Each access to the ski lift is checked and monitored. This enables local validation and report each entry to the servers in the control center.
In the second phase of implementation, the access area was equipped with additional turnstiles so that even more ski lifts could be included in the validation and management throughout the ski resort.
Thanks to SKIDATA’s strategic management system, it is possible to not only improve management of the lifts, but also to improve the convenient entry with much shorter waiting periods for customers. What is more, this type of system offers numerous alternative options and rates, which can be adapted to the needs of various types of skiers.
