Parking at Sierra
Sierra-at-Tahoe offers free first-come, first-served parking throughout its 5 parking lots (Lots A, B, C, D and E), with the exception of the Preferred Parking zone located at the top of C Lot, which can be purchased for $35/day.
Wild Mountain Kids Lessons has its own parking area at the top of D Lot for parents dropping off their children.
Having a lift ticket, season pass or lesson does not guarantee you a parking space. Please plan to carpool and arrive early on weekends and holidays to secure your spot.
Parking capacity updates will be given when lots begin to approach capacity via the top of the daily snow report message and via text. Text “conditions” to 833-264-8516 to get the latest reports on parking, lift status changes, conditions + more.
