@Richard_Sideways, my eldest one day managed to loose her lift pass when we went last year (they later found it in the kids club) she didn't realise until they got to the lift, the instructor just told the lift operators she had lost it, and they let her through apparently.

Gloves with a little zip pocket across the back of the hand have always worked for me and much easier when you get to a right-hand gate. No looking like a drunk trying to have sex with a lamp post, just move our arm!
Sure you could drop a glove but, well how often have you done that? Probably about the same number of times you've left your trouser pocket open after taken cash/tissues out or forgotten to swap the pass if you have multiple ski jackets and swap mid-week.

I always buy gloves that have zip pockets on the back of the hands. The Left hand glove has the ski-pass, the right hand glove has my emergency piste-map (in case I drop the one I carry in my trouser pocket).

@Mjit, judging from the number of single gloves I've seen underneath chairlifts.......

I once dropped a glove coming off a gondola and had to wait for it to loop round!

Tuck it up sleeve of base layer and fold cuff under it.
Cut end off sock (toe end in case you are not sure) pull sock over wrist, tuck in lift pass.

You can get a holder on a ribbon which clips on to the lift pass and place it around your neck .....

Gaffer tape it to your danglies -- probably no good for getting through the barriers, but would make a great apres story

Any chest pockets? Some shells are designed for mountaineering not skiing and they may not have pockets for lift passes. Something worth checking for when buying online.

I really don't understand all this talk of cutting the end off socks, chest pockets, putting it round your neck etc. etc. as several of us have said earlier, just put it in your trouser pocket. Why in earth would you bother with anything else?

Perhaps the OP also bought some fantastic new ski trousers with no pockets in them?

You know it makes sense.

Get an iPod holder strap. The ones with the clear plastic face and velcro straps, and where it on your forearm.

Unless you ski in the PDS where some of the turnstiles have the pass reader on the right hand side. Wonder if there are many areas that do this?

Or stick it in your back pocket and twerk it baby! Lifties appreciate that kind of thing... |
They didn't when I twerked - do you think it's my technique or just maybe it's because I'm a bloke in my mid 40's?

Just "thinking outside the box here" - maybe in that case you could put your ski pass (wait for it) in your right pocket ... or buy a lift pass for each pocket.

PDS gates are either all on the left or a mix of left and right. If you have the pass L trouser pocket as I do you either stroll through (the all left side gates) or pick a left side gate and stroll through.
Just occasionally there is a lift with a right side only gate (generally a minor drag lift). In that case you can twerk it, or take your pass out and wave it in your right hand. It's really not a problem

Agreed, I just find it curious that the have righthand side readers as I've not found those in other places I ski.

Yes. that is a real problem. Slide through the baffle gates backwards maybe?

A good solution would be to take an old ski sock, put your pass in the toe of it, sow on some string, and then glue the other end of the string to your helmet, or if you don't wear a helmet, direct to your face. Then the pass would be available both left and right side at your whim.
All problems solved. Happy days.

@igLou, No way, I have loads of ideas. You could just superglue the actual pass to your face, and then simply turn your head depending whether the reader was left or right.

@halfhand, another place to superglue a lift pass.
I like your style.
|

Just tie it to a long piece of string, around your neck and tuck it down the most appropriate sleeve

@Timc,nah, rubbish idea, much better superglued to breasts (if you have them)

I have a problem which is at the opposite end of the scale! I have a lift pass pocket on my jacket which is big enough to hold more than one lift pass. I therefore just put the new one on top of the old one. I find this often causes the lifties to start talking in agitated tones. Any suggestions?

Don't mention it, glad to help.
PS Probably best to carry out this modification while not actually wearing the jacket.
