Pull up, ski out.
Winter 2023-24 Parking
Snowbird’s parking program for the 2023-24 season will remain the same hybrid approach as that used during the 2022-23 season. Snowbird will offer a variety of ways to park and enjoy the mountain, including the ability to park in free lots on a first-come, first-served basis, pay for reserved daily parking in advance or purchase a Preferred Parking Pass. This hybrid approach allows the majority of parking areas to return to a free, open system while Snowbird guests who enjoyed the security of having a spot in advance can continue to do so.
Snowbird continues to focus on encouraging and celebrating carpooling with expanded carpool parking areas.
