Ski passes of the ski resorts of Krasnaya Polyana. Ski Pass - what is it?

If you come for the first time to a ski resort, then the offer to purchase a ski pass can cause confusion. Therefore, today we will tell you why it is needed, how to use it and how much it costs. So, ski pass - what is it? It's nothing more than an electronic pass, to which we are already accustomed today. Everyone in the purse has a number of plastic cards, allowing to visit various establishments and use ATMs. So here, the chip is embedded in it, which contains information about the owner, the terms of the action, the amount that the tourist has.

How to use it?

We sorted out the concept of ski pass, that this small plastic card is now understandable. To go to the lift, you will need to attach it to the turnstile, so that data will be read from it. This not only ensures the convenience of payment, but also the safety of tourists. For example, a child does not miss the turnstile for a dangerous route for experienced skiers.

Suits for skiers for a long time provide for pockets on the sleeve. It is enough to put your hand to the validator, and your photo, age and gender will appear on the screen. Therefore, you will not be able to go for a drive yourself, having bought a children's ski pass. What does this give? Less chance of losing a card, because now it does not need to get out of your pocket, and more control. For willful violation of the rules (using someone else's card), they can pick it up and cancel it. Therefore, before the trip, make sure that everyone takes their own.

Keep in mind that the validator maintains a timeout every time you use a ski pass. What does it mean? If you went through the turnstile, and had to return for some reason, then again you can go through only after a certain period of time. This can be 10 or 20 minutes, so it is done so that one person does not skip one ski pass at a time.

How much does a ski pass cost?

It's different in every resort. Depends on the season, the zone and the term of its operation. Also different ski passes for individual age groups. Most often the discount applies to children's, student's cards, as well as for those who are over 60 years old. If the region of skiing is large enough (as in the case with Krasnaya Polyana), and unites several districts, then you, accordingly, will be able to buy different ski passes. What does this give? If the card is designed for a certain area, then you can ride only on its territory.

However, if you are a good skier, then it may be boring to spend every weekend skating with the same slides. Then you can take a pass for the whole region. The validity period can also be different. The minimum is half a day, and the maximum is the whole season. Count depending on your needs and love of skiing.

At the resorts of Krasnaya Polyana in connection with the holidays prices have increased greatly, therefore skiers go for a trick. Having paid for a subscription of 2600 rubles and having rolled up, they resell it to those wishing to go for "inexpensive". This is usually 1300 rubles.
