The town of Vail began selling parking passes for the 2023-2024 winter ski season on Monday.
The town will start charging for parking in the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures as well as Red Sandstone Garage, Ford Park Lot and Soccer Lot on Friday, Nov. 10, which is the expected opening day for Vail Mountain. The paid parking will continue through April 21, 2024.
The town’s daily parking rates and pass prices remain largely unchanged from last year — which did see changes to the pass structure and daily rate increases. However, there are some changes to its calendar of peak and non-peak days.
Parking Passes
The town opened up pass purchases to the public on Monday, Oct. 9. Passes are available for purchase online at VailGov.com/ParkingPasses.
This year’s pass offerings provide savings on the retail rates and expanded free parking for Vail locals, business owners and workers, as well as for Eagle County residents. Any pass holders receive free parking between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. on both peak and non-peak days. There are six pass types available: Premier, Business Premier, Employee Plus, Employee, Vail Local and Eagle County Local.
