All guests will carry a new MYMW RFID chip-enabled card that will trigger and open one of the new access gates which will be located at each lower alpine lift. The Magic Carpets and Boomerang Chair will utilize hand-held scanners.
The MYMW Cards have a 5-year warranty and an expected lifespan of over 8-years; this means whether you are a Season Pass Member, or a multi/single day guest, you can reuse your card for the duration of its lifespan. The multi-year durability of the new RFID enabled cards will drastically reduce the environmental impact versus our old Season Passes and lift tickets.

Lift Gate Secrets Revealed
Lift Gate Secrets: Revealed... ? Lift Ops Manager Jenn is sharing her tips and tricks so you can have a successful scan, every time. From our long-time pass holders to first-time ticket purchasers...get in the know so you're not the one holding up the lift lines! #mymw
1. Load your lift access before you arrive at the resort - whether it's a Season Pass type or a new single day ticket you're picking up - it's all the same reloadable RFID card. As we get closer to Family Day Weekend, it's even more important to plan ahead to avoid disappointment.
2. Store your reloadable card in a secure, zipped pocket on its own on your left-hand side. Your card must be stored solo - away from your cell phone, bank cards or aluminum products like gum packages.
3. You can only take one card through the lift access gates at a time. Keep your 6ixPak tickets separate.
4. If your card isn't scanning as it should, our Lifty's will send you to the scan box located outside our Season Pass office to further investigate the issue.
5. Enjoy a successful day of scanning and riding... Then reload day tickets to your card online again and again for each visit.
