Early Riser Parking Changes

Beginning Saturday, December 31, on weekends and holidays from 6 AM to 2 PM, the Early Riser Lot will be free for people carpooling with 3 or more people and cost $20 for those with less than 3 people per car. High Noon and Last Chance lots will remain free

Over the COVID period, people have carpooled less and are riding the Summit Stage less. That puts a strain on parking and is a trend we have to change. In a perfect world, every vehicle in Early Riser has carpoolers. This is not an effort to make money. It is an effort to let all A-Basin skiers and riders have a place to park, ride and have fun.  Additionally, it is a move to reduce emissions and combat climate change.

We did institute something similar in the pre-COVID years. I know this feels like a big change, but in the spirit of keeping the guest experience high and addressing our sustainability objectives, we think this is very important.
