Oversize Vehicle Parking:

Parking an RV, truck and trailer combo, or vehicle longer than 24’ is very challenging any time of year in the Gondola Parking Garage, but especially during the winter season due to high demand. Parking in all Mountain Village public parking facilities is on a first-come, first-served basis – reservations not accepted - and the spaces that accommodate longer vehicles fill up quickly. Overnight parking, 2 a.m. – 6:30 a.m. on uncovered levels is not permitted in Gondola Parking Garage during the winter season due to plowing regulations. If you can find a suitable spot and need to drop your trailer for a few days, it is still subject to posted rates and plowing regulations. Vehicle camping is strictly prohibited in all Mountain Village public parking facilities regardless of what your Van Life Forum tells you.
