Buy ski pass from your iPhone
You love skiing? And you cannot wait for the sun to rise to grab your equipment and go to the mountains? Now there is a very interesting offer that will make your ski life even easier. The guys from SKIDATA are presenting the launch of the iSkiPass application allowing users to quickly and securely buy a ski pass from iPhone. This solution is the first ski pass reservation application for iPhones. It will be available on the App Store - under "iSkiPass" - and will soon be accessible on other mobile platforms.
Thanks to the very latest online reservation technologies, now skiers can buy ski passes from their iPhone, load it onto an RFID card - a Keycard or a Swatch Snowpass - and use this card to directly access all ski lifts. This process - which is highly convenient when on the go - helps avoid waiting in line at ticketing offices and is the perfect complement to online reservations.
The solution will be available worldwide starting with the 2010-2011 winter season. During this first phase and until the end of the season, several leading ski resorts in the Swiss Alps will sell ski passes (valid up to 3 days) on the new iSkiPass selling application. To take advantage of this, skiers simply need to download the iSkiPass application and enter their personal data along with the number of cards needed. Buying one or several ski passes takes only a few seconds. As soon as the application delivers the confirmation number, access to the ski resort lifts is authorized.
"As of today, in addition to the web services which have been available for several years now, ski resort operators can benefit from this highly innovative sales channel which is permanently available to their clients", stated Charles Egli, SKIDATA CEO.
