Vail this year is continuing free summer parking, with the exceptions of overnight stays in the Vail Village and Lionshead structures.
In order to keep the structures from becoming summer-season vehicle storage areas, the town a few years ago imposed the overnight charge.
Vail Acting Division Head for Parking Stephanie Kashiwa noted that the overnight charge was waived in 2020 as part of the town’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The charge is back, and more expensive, this year.
Kashiwa said the overnight charge, as well as work wrapping up on the Vail Health Hospital expansion, has freed up “quite a few hundred” spaces in the structures.
