PARKING AT THE SUMMIT & ALPENTAL
PARKING PERMITS REQUIRED FOR WINTER 24-25
This winter we're rolling out a managed parking solution for all our parking lots, from Alpental to Summit East. A parking permit will be required in all lots between 7am and 2pm daily, from Nov. 25th - April 30th.
Permits are free for passholders - parking is included in the price of season passes and ticket packs, so there is no additional cost for those who have a pass or flex pack for this winter. Scroll down for a breakdown of permit types and fees for all other visitors.
More tourists, backcountry travelers, and general winter recreation visitors are utilizing our parking lots each year. While we love that more people are getting to enjoy the outdoors, unfortunately, the additional vehicles make it increasingly challenging for our guests to park and get to the slopes. The purpose of this permit program is to better manage our parking, helping ensure our valued guests can park in our lots and get to their preferred mountain area more easily.
This is the first step in taking a more active approach to managing our lots. We’ll learn a lot this winter, utilizing parking data and feedback to fine-tune the program moving forward.
HOW IT WORKS
Parking Permit Information
Unique codes will be used to allow Summit/Alpental guests to get daily or season parking permits depending on the type of ticket, ticket pack, or pass purchased. Codes for parking permits will be delivered to Summit guests via email, then guests simply enter the code in our parking management website to get their permit. Distribution of permit codes will begin in November.
The parking website for redeeming codes, purchasing permits, and managing vehicles/accounts will launch in November as well.
