Ski Resort ID Systems from Alpha Card produce durable season ski passes and employee IDs

Portland, OR – Alpha Card Systems, a global leader in delivering ID card solutions for a wide range of applications, has released a new series of photo ID systems geared specifically towards the ski and snowboard industry. Alpha Card's Ski Resort ID Systems enable users to design and print durable season passes for skiers and boarders, as well as employee ID cards for those working on the mountain.

While everyone is familiar with the paper lift tickets that many ski areas give out to daily riders, it's become increasingly common for these resorts to now offer ski passes printed on durable PVC cards. Not only are these ski passes better suited to handle the outdoor elements, they can also include information such as the cardholder's photo, personal info, a barcode, and other elements that help to verify identity and improve the flow of traffic at lift lines. Along with printing top-quality ski and snowboard passes, Alpha Card's Ski Resort ID Systems can also produce employee ID cards along with badges for ski patrollers and medical staff.

The Standard Ski Resort ID System includes the versatile Zebra P330i ID card printer plus Alpha Card Standard photo ID software, 500 PVC cards, color ribbon, a digital camera, strap clips, a slot punch, and other supplies. It's an all-in-one solution that makes it easy to design, print, and issue full-color ski passes and photo ID badges.

The Premium Ski Resort ID System comes with the Zebra P430i dual-sided ID card printer, Alpha Track software, an Omni barcode reader, color ribbon, 500 cards, heavy-duty slot punch, and a digital camera. This system is ideal for producing dual-sided ski passes featuring barcodes that can be scanned using the included Omni barcode reader.
