They are fucking cracking down on this shit haha.

I would say, I hope you don't look like your friends little sister. Might be pretty sketch to try it.

yeah dude bad idea, using a chick's pass wont go over too well. not sure what copper's deal but if they are like vail resorts and have the rf scanners her picture will show up and they'll realize that you are not in fact a female. they can also arrest you as it's against the law to use someone else's pass

copper had been pretty lax in the past about pass stuff. they definitely do not crack down at all, in my experience. i have used my brother's pass and a chinese girl's pass and haven't even gotten glanced at.

using a girl's pass is a lot more conspicuous though. i would just try to look as girly as possible hahaha. and don't talk. i think you will be ok.

I have done it with my friends pass, but he was a guy. If you cover the picture and wear a bandana, it might work, but it would be way easier with a guy's pass.

used to do it all the time and it always worked. just pull your jacket up to your face so they can't see it that well.... that is if they even check at all

just cover your face with a bandana. How could they tell. Also one thing me and my friend tried was he bought a pass, and the fee to get a new pass  if you lose one is only 25$, so i he just said he lost his, i gave him 25$ and i used his old pass and he used his new one.

ya sounds like it would be a bad idea and im pretty sure the readers they use at copper show the picture when they scan you so im thinkin the risk isnt worth it but thanks for the advice

draw a beard or a mustache on your sister pass, and wear a bandana.

For me, it depends which lift at copper. Super bee and a lift dont seem to look at them, but on flyer and eagle they always look and then say "thanks sam". So if you do do it, I would stay away from those lifts.

everyone has said it. don't do it, too sketchy.  if you could find a guy's pass you might have a better chance but it's really not worth it if you get caught..

Don't Do It

I accidently used my dad's pass for one day at keystone (copper is part of vail resorts right?) and they took it away and reprinted me my pass but took my dads (although they said he could reprint it). They said it was Identity theft and i could have been fined $700!
Over-All they were huge douches about it and it was a big waste of time

Using other peoples passes is stupid.  My friend got caught at Brighton once and the cops came and now he has trouble finding a real job because nobody wants to hire somebody with a Theft of Services Misdemeanor on their record.

*This is when I worked at keystone

The scanners show birth dates, pictures, address, what lifts you have ridden your whole season, etc. We got $30.00 for each pass caught, so they usually WILL report you. I was a little easy on skiers, but hey.
You get trespassing, and kicked out of the resort for 30 days. Your friend also loses the pass.

Oh and not to mention if its a kid it will ring a whole different way.

Think of it this way.
Lets say you don't have a drivers license, but you borrow a friends license and go out for a drive.
A cop pulls you over.
Friends license does not work, simply showing him the license that wasn't yours probably would probably get you in more shit.

I also imagine that copper probably has electronic ticket checking but maybe not. I have never been there so I don't know.

Yeah, I was at Whiteface today using a friends pass, my last run the liftee couldn't get it to scan so he took it from me and had a better chance to look at the picture. He looked back at me and then back at the pass. He obviously knew that I wasn't who was on the pass (I have blonde hair, my friend has black) but really didn't care.  This happened towards the end of the day when no one was really in the lift lines but when there where some people they are just rushing to get people on the lift so you should be good. Also if you go in a large group that works pretty well.

It sucks if your mountain is so anal about passes that you cant get away with that. I dont have my pass all the time/use someone elses and Ive never been caught. Its not that im even stealing anything cuz ive paid for the pass, but I just forget it all the time

i overheard a kid in the lodge talking about how he got caught using a friends pass one time, and they took him out of to the side, and they made him pay for all of the uses on the pass up to that date. dont know why, but he ended paying 300 bucks or something, for a 50 dollar lift ticket. prolly bad to use a girls pass. other guys would be less sketchy but ya.

yea fuck brighton , i feel like their lifties treat every customer like a thief every run i take they grab my pass stare at it look at me and stare some more. When I give the slighest amount of attitude they demand I take off my bandana/goggles. once even my helmet. Im almost close to filling a complaint , its bullshit moral: dont use anothers pass there
