Any one know if there on lifts on either Alta or Snowbird that you could skin up to and lap?
Are there lifts that don't check for tickets?

Thanks :D

They both use the same RFID gate system, pretty sure snowbird has scanners at all the lifts too, alta definitely does as well. Just skin up griz/superior and save your pennies for a day ticket.

Yup as said above they have RFID at pretty much every single lift in LCC making it impossible to skin up and lap.

Why skin up bird/alta when you got all the terrain in LCC and BCC right nearby? Much rather do that on some days instead of fighting the whole valley + tourists for some fresh turns.
