Ski resorts now-a-days are using certain frequency recognition systems, whose data is used to upgrade skier's experience, in multiple ways. For example, the system has led to the replacement of the old paper system, which unnecessarily consumed a lot of excess time. Stats collected from individual skiers are used by programs, to get an idea about the number of lift rides taken, number of days spent in the slopes, height scaled etc. Skiers can also get rewards based on their performance as directed by the data, thus leading to a gaming experience, which is attracting more and more skiers to the slopes. Big data also ensures that the ski resorts can efficiently transfer proper information to the consumers using data management. Big data not only helps the resorts in predicting weather, with the right stats, but also helps in strategizing suitable marketing techniques. Read more at:
