Never skied these mountains when I was living in Colorado so not familiar with the parking situation at these vail properties. Any info/tips? Do any of them have free parking?

Vail is $25 for the day, which is probably the cheapest thing on the mountain. It can fill up if the snow is good, so go early.

Parking at the BC "Bear" and "Elk" lots is free IIRC.

There is a big lot in breck right by the gondola. I am not sure if it is free or maybe $5. Either way it should be pretty cheap.

If you can find parking for $25 at Vail take it right away. We usually park at the garage in Vail Village and it is $40/day

There is another garage in Lionshead village that I thought was $40 a day as well but maybe I am remembering incorrectly as it has been a few years since we have parked there.

Beaver started charging $10 this year.

Parking in Vail Village and Lionshead maxes out at $25 for the day. As mentioned Beaver Creek started charging $10 for the lower lots. If you don't want to ride the bus at Beaver Creek go early and park in Ford or the other upper lot but it's $35 for the day and fills up fast.

Does $40 parking include a lift ticket?!

Of course not.

Not so much. Walk up, day of, lift tickets at Vail are $175. Little cheaper for online multi-day passes. Epic passes pay for themselves pretty fast now.

My kids go to school in Eagle County and get unlimited passes for Beaver Creek and Vail for $250. Awesome deal. No dice for local adults though.

Ha I know. I live in Springs. I was up in Copper last weekend and parking was free - just never been to Vail and didn't expect parking to be comparable to Jerry World. I'll probably never ski vail due to those lift prices unfortunately.

When I lived here I always got the copper/winter park/steamboat/crested butte pass so I never skied the vail properties much. Only did keystone which was always icy and a basin. Figured I'd check these other mountains out this weekend with $100/day lift tickets

Breck has massive parking right next to the gondola. I think it's free. Or you could park near the grocery store and walk over to the gondola.

Was just in Breck. There is parking right by the base at 9 (I think it was 9, the farthest left base of the mountain). It filled up quick, but was large and was only $5. Pretty solid.

Wound up just parking at the gondola for 12 on Friday and split the 35 garage parking at beaver creek with my buddies on Saturday

Lot at Breckenridge is $5 Monday through Thursday and $12 Friday through Sunday. You get a $5 discount if you have 4 or more in the car. Keystone used to be free, but it's been a few years since I've been there.
