Poster: A snowHead
|
Is there a way to look up which lifts we took from a lift pass card, based on its number? At La Clusaz they suggested there was a way to do this. I polked around the web a bit - it looks like a Skiline website lets you do this for some resorts, including Megeve and Chamonix, but not La Clusaz. Thanks.

The utility of this suggestion depends on the resort - as the electronic gates are expensive they are only on the access lifts in the Espace Killy except for those delineating the 2 resorts (you can buy Tignes only or Val only (and the odd smaller derivative)) so it really wouldn't tell you much.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@sullidav, I know they can do that at the lift office in Alpe d'Huez, you can get a little certificate for doing the 8000m Everest thingy in one day on particular runs, and obviously they must monitor "traffic" but as for giving you a complete list, or accessing it elsewhere I have never heard of it but now you have mentioned it I am going to ask when I am there. A friends sister works in the office there so she would know.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@chocksaway, Strangely enough I noticed at Christmas that even more had appeared at Alpe d'Huez, including on lifts that you would find it very difficult to get to without a pass, unless you skinned up of course. I cannot think offhand of a lift there without them to be honest.

Skiline.cc does this for a huge number of European resorts, but only 5 French resorts appear to have signed up. As well as giving you the names and number of lifts, it provides vertical metres and an approximation of kms skied. In some resorts it also includes videos of certain runs - e.g in Leogang and Hinterglemm, you go through an electronic gate at the top of a timed slalom run and you can go online afterwards and watch your video and see your time. At the main lift stations, it is possible to get a free print-out of your record for the day from an ATM-type machine.
