Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Weekday nights run 3 pm to close, and the crowd thins after about 7 pm. Mon-Fri is the least busy time, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
- Parking is first-come, first-served and Skibowl West lots fill first. Online day tickets do not guarantee a space, so arrive early on weekends and holiday periods.
- Lots and the ski school area are busiest in the morning and early afternoon on weekends. Expect longer drives up Hwy 26 and extra lead time for lessons on busy days.
- Check TripCheck.com or call 511 before driving up Hwy 26. Chain-up delays near Rhododendron can add an hour or more on snowy weekends.
