Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Park in Lot 2, the lower lot. Turn left 50 m past the Panorama welcome sign on Toby Creek Road, then take the free Village Gondola. The upper Lot 1 at 2040 Summit Drive is full 99% of the time.
- On busy days, the Greywolf Golf Course lot at 1860 Greywolf Drive can be used for alpine parking. Access to the mountain is via the Sunbird Chair.
- Ikon Pass holders go direct to the lifts and need no reservation. Skipping the ticket window avoids that line.
- The Summit Quad opens at 9:30 AM and the Village Gondola at 8:30 AM. Plan to start at the lower mountain and move up once the Summit Quad is running.
