DENVER - Whistler Blackcomb is testing an app that lets people use their iPhones and some smartphones as ski passes.

If all goes well, the resort hopes to allow guests to use the app to have their phones scanned to get on lifts this fall.

The idea is much the same as phones being be scanned at the airport, potentially reducing ticket lines.

For now, season pass holders or people with the resort’s frequency cards can download the free app to track their vertical feet and speed.

Among other things, it provides lift status, real-time updates on weather and information on which runs are groomed.

The app, called Whistler Blackcomb Live Powered by Telus, was developed by Avon, Colorado-based Resort Technology Partners.

Man accused of punching teen girl in face on US slopes pleads guilty to misdemeanour assault
                                                                                                                                                                       

VAIL, Colo. - A man accused of punching a 14-year-old girl in the face for running into his son on the slopes in Colorado has pleaded guilty to third-degree assault.

The Vail Daily reported Tuesday that the plea from 41-year-old Scott Filler was for a misdemeanour stemming from the December incident at Beaver Creek Ski Resort.

Police reports say Filler thought the teen was skiing carelessly when she bumped into his 4-year-old son. Eagle County sheriff's deputies say that's when he jumped on the girl and hit her with his fist.

District Attorney Mark Hurlbert says Filler was sentenced to anger management classes and restitution, the amount of which would be determined by the girl.

Prosecutors also sought community service, but Hurlbert says the judge fined Filler $500 instead.
