It sounds like they have traffic problems on weekends. I don't see this happening at K but cost for everything will go up with 8.5% inflation.

Been spreading for a while now. I suspect K will expand paid/preferred parking at K1 when the new lodge starts operating.

Stowe has a shortage of parking and major traffic issues. K doesn't have that.

Wasn't much of an issue before the super cheap epic passes.

Yes it was, weekends at Stowe have always had traffic problems.

Stowe has always had some level of traffic issues on busiest of days. This has certainly worsened, but what I am not clear on is covid causing solo drives vs more skier visits. I am sure some combo, but would be interested to know Stowe skier visits this year vs prior.

Also, Stowe has one road, one lane each way. Major bottleneck. Killington is lucky to have multiple access routes with Skyship, Bear, East Mtn road, and main access road. And even on the main access road, there are multiple parking options limiting delays in moving traffic trough.

Killington is lucky to have multiple access routes...

Parts would have 4 lanes if somebody painted visible lines on the road.

Stowes problem is a single access point, one way in/out.... I could see this happening at K when the village is built as a lot of parking will be pushed downhill.

[snoloco]

I don't see Skyeship, Bear, or Vale ever being anything but free. I think at the village, it'll be like Stratton where you pretty much have to pay or take a shuttle. K1 I'm not sure about.

This sucks but makes sense, vast majority of folks come south from Waterbury up to Stowe from 89, access road is always a sh*t show. Stowe also has less parking compared to K.

Killington may expand more preferred parking around k1 and lower snowshed/ram. Skyeship and Bear will remain free for the foreseeable future.

Stowe sucks...who gives a Steamer

[daytripper]

Stowe is an awesome mountain with incredible side country that gets more snow than K. The company that is in charge sucks.
