Beating the crowds

  • Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
  • Buy lift tickets online in advance and use the ticket kiosk with your emailed barcode to skip the window line.
  • Free parking is in the main lot. Arrive before the morning rush on weekends and holidays, since the main lot is the only free option listed.
  • Learn to Turn sessions require a reservation made at least one day ahead and fill up on weekends and holidays, so book early if you plan to visit then.
  • Weekday hours are limited, so check the lift status page before a midweek trip; Christmas week, MLK weekend, and President's Week are the busiest stretches.
