The glass-like panel on the left side of the lift gate is the RFID reader. For optimal performance, keep your RFID card in a left-side pocket between your shoulder and knee. Left jacket sleeve or chest pockets are ideal for ensuring the card is read correctly. Avoid storing the card in your wallet or alongside other objects such as cell phones, credit cards, or metal items, as these can interfere with the card’s functionality.

Each RFID card is unique to Beech Mountain Resort and cannot be used at other ski areas. Likewise, cards from other ski resorts will not work here.

For a hassle-free experience, skip the ticket window and reload your lift tickets online. Simply visit beechmountainresort.com/reload to add tickets directly to your card.

If you forget your RFID card, visit the ticket window to receive a new one. There is a $25 replacement fee, and any reloaded tickets will be transferred to the new card. For lost season passes, stop by the administration office for a new pass, also with a $25 replacement fee.

Avoid punching holes or making any physical alterations to your RFID card, as this could damage the card and prevent it from working. If the card is damaged, a replacement will be required. Your RFID card is durable, but it is not waterproof or heatproof, so avoid exposing it to washing machines or dryers to prevent damage.

While your photo is required for all season pass holders, it will not appear on your RFID card. Instead, our RFID gates will display your photo to validate that the passholder matches the cardholder.

RFID cards are non-transferable and linked to your personal information, and if you are a season passholder, your photo. Sharing your card is prohibited and will result in the loss of your ticket or pass.
