Winter Parking Information & Tips​

​

• Please review the full Employee/Volunteer Parking Policy and see below for additional helpful tips and reminders. ​​​

​

• EDGE Residents park in the Elevation Lot.  

  • Parking permits are required and can be obtained through the Housing Office.  

  • Each Tuesday evening, EDGE residents are required to move their cars from the Elevation Lot to Chapel Lot to allow for plowing.

  • Each Wednesday, EDGE residents are required to move their cars from the Chapel Lot back to the Elevation Lot after plowing is finished. 

  • Elevation Lot shuttling tips:

    • The closest Copper bus stop to the Elevation Lot is "Green Acres/Woodward Barn". Copper Mountain buses do not service the Summit Stage bus stop directly in front of the barn. Please cross the street and wait at the designated Copper Loop stop.  

    • You can also utilize the Summit Stage to get from Elevation back to the EDGE. Please be sure to wait at the Summit Stage stop on the main road. 

​​​

• Sky Chutes Residents park in the Sky Chutes Lot (parking is dispersed around the Sky Chutes apartments) 

  • Parking permits are required and can be obtained through the Housing Office.​

  • Effective Winter 24/25: Sky Chutes residents will not receive Powder Lot parking passes.

  • For employees that need to be at work before/after shuttles are running - please coordinate with your respective RLT member.

​​​​

• ​All other Employees/Volunteers that live off-site may park in the following lots:

  • • ​Powder Lot 

    • Alpine Lot (overflow)

    • Far East Lot (overflow)

  • Parking permits are required and can be obtained through the Employee Experience front desk.  ​

  • Employees/Volunteers will receive one parking sticker that will allow one vehicle access to the Powder Lot; if additional parking is needed for other cars – those will need to be parked in Alpine/Far East Lots. Sticker must be adhered to registered vehicle's window. 

  • Powder Lot is reserved for Employees/Volunteers who are working that day with an eligible parking permit. 

  • Space is as available, first-come, first-served; a lot attendant will be present.​​

  • For employees that need to be at work before/after shuttles are running - please coordinate with your respective RLT member.

  • On busy Saturdays and Sundays, please consider carpooling with coworkers or taking the Summit Stage/Lake County Commuter. If you drive to Copper on these days, give yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot. The Powder Lot fills up quickly on these days, so you may end up parking in the Alpine Lot or Far East Lot and will need to shuttle in. 

  • Powder Lot shuttling tips:

    • There is a "Powder/Chapel" bus stop serviced only by the Copper Loop buses 

    • Green Route express buses do not stop at the Powder/Chapel stop on its way to West Village​

​

​​​Violations: Parking unauthorized vehicles or parking in undesignated spaces may result in tickets, fines, and/or towing and may also result in loss of parking privileges. Employees may face disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment for multiple violations.

• Parking permits are not to be be shared with any friends/family.

• Powder Lot is not to be used while skiing/riding on days off - it is designated for employees/volunteers who are working that day.
