2024/25 Winter Season New Parking System

Parking Passes Sold out for the 24-25 Season 

To preserve the A-Basin experience, we will implement parking reservations for the 2024/25 winter season. At times, we see more cars in our lots and on Loveland Pass than we have the capacity for. On these days, we fill up our lots by midmorning, and folks have to turn around just because they can’t find parking. It’s also a challenge to our community to deal with a backlog on Loveland Pass. 

After limiting lift tickets, which successfully managed skiers and riders on our mountain, this is our next phase in preserving the experience. Parking has always been our pinch point for controlling busier days, so we are doing this to ensure we offer the quality you expect from A-Basin.

Reservations will be required on weekends and holidays (including April 1) between December 21, 2024 and May 4, 2025 before 1 p.m. A general parking reservation will be $20/car in all lots. Like our lift ticket process, these reservations must be made online in advance.

We will have a limited number of parking passes which are exclusively available to 24-25 unrestricted A-Basin season pass holders. 

We are still working to identify the best third-party vendor to help us create a reservation plan, so we don’t have all the information yet. You may have questions and concerns about this change, so we’ve tried to answer as much as possible with the information we have today. 

We will update this page with information as soon as we receive the information.

What will reservations look like?

Here's what we know now for next season —

• A general parking reservation will cost $20/car in Early Riser, High Noon, Last Chance, and Upper Last Chance.
  • Admin lot will be premium parking for $40.  A season parking pass does not cover admin
• Parking will not require a reservation after 1 p.m. on weekends and holidays and will remain free during weekdays. 
• Vehicles with four or more people are still required to have a reservation, but the reservation is free.

  • Parking Passes will go on sale to Unrestricted Pass Holders July 9 at 10 a.m MT.
  • An account may have two license plates listed on a single parking pass. The license plates can be updated throughout the season.

I don’t want to pay. Can I still get to A-Basin for free on weekends and holidays?

We love carpoolers—they save parking spaces and support our green initiatives. Vehicles with four or more people still require a reservation, but it is free. Try out the Treadshare app to connect you with nearby skiers and riders heading to A-Basin on the same days you are.

There are easy and convenient ways of getting to A-Basin without paying for parking on weekends and holidays—our fantastic local public transit! Summit County offers a FREE bus service between Breckenridge, Keystone, Frisco, Dillon, and Silverthorne. The Summit Stage "Swan Mountain Flyer" services A-Basin daily during peak ski season. You can track the buses online or via a mobile app. From Denver, kick up your feet and check out the Snowstang for an easy, quick ride.

How will this alleviate traffic congestion?

During weekends and holidays, at times, more vehicles arrive at A-Basin than we have the capacity for. That results in more traffic than is necessary, needless congestion, and guests being turned away upon arrival simply because there’s nowhere to park. If you’ve ever experienced this, you know why it needs to change. 

We are committed to improving our arrival experience and continuously focus on accessibility to A-Basin and care for our mountain community. Requiring parking reservations on weekends and holidays will reduce congestion by limiting the number of vehicles that drive up Loveland Pass. It will also reduce the number of cars that are inevitably turned away on these days when our parking fills up. Plus, our guests will be able to avoid waking up at 6:00 a.m. on their weekends and holidays to find a parking spot and experience an easier drive up in the morning at their own leisurely pace.
