Do I really have to put my photo and my kids photos in my SkiWhitetail/Epic profile? I just bought some discounted tickets for next Sunday and I'd rather not include photos of our faces if I don't have to...

 The profile photos are used by lifties to check that the people using an RFID ticket/pass look about right.  That's why there is a liftie holding a tablet as people load a lift.   That's not a unique requirement for Epic.

 I would think you could go into your Epic account and delete the profile photos after you use the lift tickets.

 This is pretty much the case at all Ikon and Epic resorts. And maybe a lot of Indy. Indy has my picture.

 Also true even for small independent ski areas that have only recently moved to RFID lift access.  Fair to say the number of ski areas/resorts without RFID lift access is getting smaller and smaller.  Not having to build gates makes a big difference.
