PARKING BASICS

Parking reservations are required on weekends and holidays between Dec. 21, 2024 and May 4, 2025 for all vehicles in every lot.

Our Parking Program for 2024-2025: Preserving the A-Basin Experience

​For the 2024-25 winter season, we will implement parking reservations. 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. 

 

​A limited number of season parking passes were made available exclusively to 2024-25 Unrestricted A-Basin Pass Holders, but are now sold out. Reservations on weekends and holidays are still required.

​

How it Works:

 

Reservations will be required on weekends and holidays (including April 1) between December 21, 2024 and May 4, 2025 between 6:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. A general parking reservation will be $20/reservation in all lots, with the exception of The Beach (rates vary) and Admin Lot for $40. 

​​

  • Parking reservations for the coming weekend will open every Monday at 2:00 P.M.

  • Reservations will be available in all lots for $20, with the exception of The Beach (rates vary) and Admin Lot for $40.

  • We’ll have FREE carpool in Easy Riser, High Noon, Last Chance and Upper Last Chance lots for those that are traveling with 4+ and encourage you to reserve with friends and family in advance. Reservations will still be required for the vehicle.

  • You can make one reservation per account per day.

  • Accessible parking reservations are FREE. Accessible parking is available in Early Riser and our Admin lot. 

  • Highway 6: Do not park on the highway, your car will be towed by the Colorado State Patrol.

  • Camping and Oversized vehicles: There is no overnight parking nor no camping in any A-Basin lot at any time of year. There is no parking for oversized vehicles or trailers.
