Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Buy lift tickets online before arrival and print or pick up RFID tickets at the kiosks near Mountain Guest Services to skip the ticket window.
- Park in the general lots, which are free, and take the free shuttle to the main ticketing area. Premium Lot D2 costs $20 on weekdays and $25 on weekends and holidays.
- Ski on weekdays. Season passholders get priority access during busy periods, and the Ikon blackout windows around Dec 27 to 31, Jan 16 to 17, and Feb 13 to 14 are the resort's peak days.
- Avoid the Club Camelback nights on Dec 26, Jan 16, and Feb 13 if you want a quieter lodge area.
