DiveBomber Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 vail is pretty $hitty, they want like $25 bucks for parking, OR you can park WAYYY out, and take the shuttle... which runs every half our.... dont miss it or youll be sitting around for a while!!! BC is better, still have to take a shuttle but its much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostertwo Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 While finding free parking takes a little effort, it is certainly possible to avoid the Town of Vail Parking Structures and their $25/day fee. http://www.vailgov.com/subpage.asp?page_id=572 I haven't found the free town shuttle to be inconvenient (15 minutes between shuttles in East Vail, for example). Parking tips and bus schedules can be found here: http://www.vail.com/insiders-guide/parking-tips.aspx Map of some parking options, incouding free lots: http://www.vail.com/lodging-and-dining/explore-town/~/media/Vail/Files/TOVparkingmapdonovan.ashx <img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/2poayd0.jpg" border="0" alt="Jeff Patterson, Champagne Glade, Vail, CO"> Fresh powder and good skiing this week, and more is forecast in the Central Mountains. Look forward to an excellent trip. Cheers, B-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Donnelly Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 http://www.skicoupons.com/regions.cfm/r/9 Ernie, Ski Cooper may be worth checking out & there is a $10 off weekday offer within the above link. might be helpful to call the day before to find out what the plan to groom for the next day. A friend went there a few weeks ago and they had groomed just one green run so he decided to try some other day. If Summit is too crowded on the weekend then take a drive over to B'Milk. Ride safe!

Cindy Kleh Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ya, I avoid Vail like the plague. If it's not the expensive parking, it's waiting in lines even on weekdays for everything. Even to take a pee. Even Aspen and Telluride provide convenient and free parking. Beaver Creek rocks! Arapahoe Basin still has close-in free parking ... you can see the lifts from your car.

pcABQ Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 easy. free. before you climb up that big hill to get to bcreek, take a right on that last roundabout. sorry to be so vague; i don't know the street names what you want is Bear Lot, which is big and on the left at the light. it's free. you take a bus up to the centennial lift. they come often. when you are done riding, you can locate a trail called "leave the beav" which is next to the ritz. it will get you back close to the Bear lot again. beaver creek can often have superb carving. highly recommended good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
