The resort’s page doesn’t say which season these rules are for. They were current on the page when we checked.
The resort’s own pages disagree on some details. See what they say.
General parking is free. On select weekends and holidays you can buy a preferred slope-side spot in the lower lot for $30 on weekends or $40 on peak days, held for you until noon.
- Park in the free resort lots, which can fill on busy days.
- Ride the free Diamond Peak Ski Shuttle from stops around Incline Village, including the Hyatt.
When the resort lots are full, staff send you to off-site lots at UNR at Lake Tahoe, Aspen Grove or the Lakeshore Drive overflow lot, which are served by shuttles. Drop your group at the resort first and send only the driver.
- A preferred spot isn’t held after noon and isn’t refunded, and if you leave after checking in, you lose it.
- There’s no RV parking and no overnight parking.
Where the official pages disagree
The $40 preferred price is described as applying to “peak periods” in one paragraph and to “holidays” in the next. The page lists 2026–27 peak periods as Dec 19–Jan 3, Jan 16–18 and Feb 13–21.

Rules change during the season. If the resort’s page says something different from ours, go by the resort.
