Some parents 
buy a 6 day lift pass, and then each of them uses it 3 days, skiing with the kids alternately.
At least one resort in Austria (Bad Gastein), as you go through a barrier, takes a photo, linking a face (or rather ski helmet and jacket*) to the card. The next day, they check that the face matches the person coming through the barrier. Then they give the ringer a €50 fine, require the purchase of a day card, confiscate the card and ban the owner from the facilities (not sure how they enforce that).
Be warned. Unless the T&C's (which can be quite hard to find the details of) specifically permit swapping between parents, don't share.
Though the parents have been caught bang to rights, so no complaint there, it does seem a bit off to me that there's no indication that you're under surveillance. Perhaps they'd rather catch people than stop the practice.
* I knew I should have bought matching his n' hers jackets and helmets
