Shuttles & Parking
-
During the ski season, free parking is available in the Gateway Lot (off Village Lane), Fall Line Lot, and the roundabout near the fire station. The Lakeview Lot is complimentary during the week and $25 on weekends and holidays. Our parking lots fill up fast during busy times so we recommend the free SPOT Bus shuttle from the Red Barn at the base of the mountain. They will drop you off right at the Village entrance. Once Gateway Lot is full, we will run a free shuttle to get you up to the Village from the Fall Line Lot. rich-text, responsive-table
