PARKING BASICS
Our Parking Program for 2025-2026: Preserving the A-Basin Experience
For the 2025-26 winter season, we will have parking reservations. On such days, our lots typically reach full occupancy by midmorning, resulting in visitors having to turn back due to the lack of parking. This overflow also places a strain on the surrounding community, as congestion on Loveland Pass becomes increasingly difficult to manage.
A limited number of season parking passes were made available exclusively to 2025-2026 Unrestricted A-Basin Pass Holders, and are still for sale. Reservations on weekends are required.
How it Works:
Reservations will be required on weekends between January 3, 2026 and May 3, 2026 between 6:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. General parking reservation are $20/reservation in all lots, with the exception of The Beach (rates vary) and Admin Lot for $40.
