The resort’s page doesn’t say which season these rules are for. They were current on the page when we checked.
What it costs
Most parking at Big Sky is free. The Exchange Lot in Mountain Village is paid, reserved parking you book online. We couldn’t read its price because the booking page blocks automated checks.
How to park free
- The Mountain Village free lots are served by shuttles that stop outside the Exchange building every few minutes from 8am to 6pm.
- The resort lists a free Carpool Lot and free parking at the Madison Base Lot.
- The Skyline Bus gives free rides between the slopes and Big Sky’s Town Center.
Book or pay
If the lots are full
Lots fill on weekends, holidays, event days and powder days, so check the live lot status on the resort’s parking page before you leave, or take the free Skyline Bus from Town Center.
Good to know
- Overnight parking and camping aren’t allowed at Big Sky Resort.
- Uber and Lyft don’t operate in Big Sky, so book any transportation well ahead.
