The resort’s own pages disagree on some details. See what they say.
Do you need a reservation on your day?
Whistler Blackcomb’s own lots (Upper Lots 6–8 and the Creekside Parkade) are free all season, reserved spots included. The municipality’s Day Lots in Whistler Village charge C$21 a day in Lots 1–3 and C$13 a day in Lots 4 and 5, with pay parking from 8am to 5pm.
Nov 21, 2026 to Apr 4, 2027, on weekends, holiday Mondays and Dec 25 to Jan 3
Reservations for 2026–27 opened Nov 3 at 10am Pacific on the Whistler Blackcomb Parking site. You can hold up to two active reservations at a time, and you can cancel or change your plate until 8am on the day.
- Upper Lot 8 and Creekside P3 and P4 stay free and first come, first served, with no reservation needed.
- Cars with 4 or more people can use the free carpool spots in Upper Lot 6 and Creekside P1, either reserved or first come.
- After 11am on reservation days, the resort lots open to every car with no reservation needed.
If the free lots are full, you can pay to park in the municipal Day Lots 1–5 in Whistler Village, which also serve the resort.
- Cancel by 8am if you can’t use a reservation, or you may be charged C$50 and blocked from booking again.
- From Nov 1 to Mar 31 you can’t park in Day Lots 1–5 between 3am and 6am, and sleeping in your vehicle isn’t allowed on Whistler roads or in municipal lots.
- BC Transit buses link the Gondola Transit Exchange in the village with the Blackcomb base and the Benchlands.
Prices are in Canadian dollars.
Where the official pages disagree
The parking site says reservations are needed from 6am to 11am and lots open to everyone after 11am, while Whistler Blackcomb’s getting-here page says 6am to 10:30am and after 10:30am.
The parking site and the getting-here page’s summary say you can hold two active reservations, but the FAQ on the getting-here page says three.
The getting-here page lists Day Lots 1–3 at $19.50 a day and Lots 4–5 at $11 a day, while the municipality (which owns the lots, page updated Oct 7, 2026) lists $21 and $13.
The lot table on the getting-here page still shows Lot 7 as the carpool lot, while the 2026–27 announcements say Lot 6 is now the carpool lot and Lot 7 the general reservation lot. The FAQ also gives the holiday period as “December 25-Sunday 3rd Jan, 2026”.
