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
Parking in lots 1–9 is free. A Preferred Parking day pass or season pass buys you a spot in the lot below the Lower Meadows lift, and day passes sell out on busy weekends.
How to park free
- Lots 1–9 are free, and you can ski back to your car on the parking lot trails.
Book or pay
If the lots are full
When the base lots fill, park in the valley lots across from Town Square and ride the free “Schuss Bus” shuttle.
