Did You Know....The Secrets to Attaching Your Lift Ticket Correctly!
The following are just a few steps to make attaching your lift ticket easy and painfree...follow these simple rules of thumb and your lift ticket will stay attached so you will always be ready to ski!  1 - Always attach lift ticket to a wicket provided by Cataloochee. 2 -  Attach lift ticket to something you are not going to take off, such as a belt loop or bib zipper, on pants or jackets. 3 -  Never attach ticket to gloves or hat. 4 -  Do not let lift ticket get wet prior to attaching to wicket. 5 -  Fold ticket in half at center. 6 - Make sure you have wicket attached to garment you want ticket on.  7 -  Remove backing from lift ticket and place in trash receptacle. 8 -  Place wicket at center of lift ticket and fold halves together, like a sandwich. Remember, your ticket is not valid if it has been removed or is not attached to your garment. Ticket must be visible to lift attendant and attached at all times.  If you need to change your ticket at any time to another garment, please return to the ticket center and get a replacement ticket.  You must have original attached pass to receive a replacement for your ticket.
