Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Indy Pass holders must book an advance reservation on Brundage's site and add a Brundage RFID card to the cart; only one Indy redemption is allowed per day, and a no-show still counts as a redemption.
- Avoid the holiday periods of Dec 19 to Jan 3, Jan 16 to 18, and Feb 13 to 15, when the resort's dynamic pricing peaks and the Midweek Season Pass is not valid.
- Buy lift tickets online before the visit date since prices rise as the day gets closer; load the ticket onto an existing RFID card to skip the ticket window on arrival.
- Day parking is free with no reservation system; the turnoff from Highway 55 is on the right about 4 miles north of McCall, so plan for the approach and arrive early on weekends and Boise break weeks.
