The overnight thing for your average skier in most large resorts is just a non-starter these days In CO. I certainly sympathize with your scenario and your co-workers, but it’s just not feasible at the big joints to allow camping.
From the article:
“
Scott said the goals would be to reduce the number of “single-occupancy vehicles” and promote the use of the Summit Stage, the county’s free bus system.”
Seriously?! All the summit county resorts are heavily utilized by day-Skiiers, how is summit Stage an option If you’re not already living or staying nearby?
Whatever capacity you need to park cars at the resort would just need to be shifted to a need for the same capacity at multiple park and ride lots in Frisco/Silverthorne/Dillon. Which don’t currently exist. And those city planners (and residents) aren’t likely to support that. Plus you’d need all the current electronic signs on the freeway (and likely more) providing real time parking info as they fill up.
But all that being said, charging for parking is probably the right move, OTC skiing at popular places is going about as well with crowding as OTC bull tags In popular units. Preference points will be next
