any alta parking tricks?

[newbieM]

Is there a trick to getting parking for Alta for a following weekend beyond hoping the obsessive checking on Sunday has something open up for the following weekend?

Its Tue, parking is already all sold out for the following weekend, I tried on Sunday I had no luck and was skiing all day yesterday and forgot. Sigh.

Here are the tips I learned if anyone has any more:

- Parking is required for weekends before 1pm
- They release more tickets sunday at 3pm
- I found a shuttle for $10/person each way at https://www.visitsaltlake.com/cottonwoodconnect/ it seems pretty neat (it is just a steep price if there are 4 of us riding)

Any parking tips?

Thanks!

When taking the bus, better to park at a lot that is farther away from the mouth of LCC. Then the bus won't be as crowded. Get off at Albion, the last stop. There is a free locker room there (next to the ski school office). Going down canyon, best to load at Albion because the bus is essentially empty from there.

I think an Ikon pass can work as a bus pass.

@marzNC since last year the UTA bus no longer goes to Albion only to Collins.

Ah, that's a big change. Looks like only every 30 minutes in the mornings.

Then the shuttle seems like it would be worthwhile.
