No. We are still owned by Dream, and we made this decision while under Dream ownership and after much deliberation. This is the best and only method to improve our arrival experience. As a ski area, we are constantly tinkering with our operation to make it the best possible experience and keep A-Basin a true skier’s and rider’s mountain. Ensuring everyone who has planned in advance to ski can come and ski – not turn around because of a back-up or because they can’t get a parking spot.
During weekends and holidays, at times we see more vehicles arrive than we have the capacity for. That results in more traffic than necessary, needless congestion, safety risks on Loveland Pass, and guests being turned away upon arrival because there’s nowhere to park. If you’ve ever experienced this, you know why it needs to change. We are committed to improving our arrival experience and are continuously focusing on accessibility to A-Basin and care for our mountain community. Requiring parking reservations on weekends and holidays will reduce congestion by limiting the number of vehicles that drive up Loveland Pass. It will also reduce the number of cars that are inevitably turned away on these days when our parking fills up. Our skiers and riders will be able to avoid waking up at 6:00 a.m. (or even earlier) on their weekends and holidays to find a parking spot and experience an easier drive up in the morning at their own leisurely pace.
Yes, your beach reservation is one of your two reservations.
