The Problem & The Solution

The Glacial Pace of Legacy Lift Counting Systems

Counting in a blizzard with thick ski gloves means missed tallies and double-clicks. When a lead asks for the current Peak Load reading, your counter is already out of sync because the data is trapped in one person's pocket. You can't effectively balance flow across different Terrain Pods if the data from the beginner chair is 30 minutes old.

Mechanical turnstiles are expensive capital expenditures, prone to failure, and often freeze solid or jam when snow and ice build up. Even modern RFID gates can experience lag during high-volume periods, leading to inaccurate Skier Visits totals and costly discrepancies when auditing daily usage.

⚠️Stop relying on turnstiles and manual counts and manual counting methods.

SnapCount: Real-Time Flow Management for Modern Resorts

Multiple lift operators—from the base of the high-speed quad to the mid-mountain unloading zone—can contribute to the same live dashboard instantly.

Instead of passing clipboards, shouting numbers, or reconciling spreadsheets at the end of the day, your entire team counts into one shared session that updates instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using SnapCount for ski resort lift lines

Can we use this alongside our existing RFID gate system?

Yes. SnapCount is often used as a real-time verification layer to monitor flow and confirm gate counts when RFID systems experience lag, maintenance downtime, or during critical peak flow hours.

Is the data reliable in areas with spotty Wi-Fi coverage?

Absolutely. SnapCount features robust offline mode capabilities, storing tallies locally until connectivity is restored, at which point the dashboard instantly syncs all backlogged counts without data loss.

How does this help with balancing flow across different lifts?

The sync feature allows you to create separate counters for each lift (e.g., Quad A, T-Bar B) on a single dashboard, giving the Lift Manager a unified view of skier density across all Terrain Pods in real-time.

What about tracking things besides just total skiers?

Operators can easily set up multiple counters simultaneously to track specific metrics like 'Empty Chairs,' 'Ski Patrol Runs,' or 'First Tracks' participants, all updating instantly for centralized management review.
