Sierra-at-Tahoe does not require parking reservations.

Parking is based on mountain capacity and is on a first-come, first-serve basis.  

Sierra offers 6 parking lots, open to the public, lots A-F. Please expect to enter the parking lots this year as directed by our parking attendants, from the back access road. We will plan to fill the upper lots from A-D, then move into the lower lots, E + F. Exceptions will be made for those with a preferred parking pass.  

Lots open daily at 7:00am. Please respect the direction of the parking attendants and expect to park tight.  

Preferred parking is available daily for $35 or $269 for a Season parking pass offering priority parking access all season long. Access to preferred parking will be through the front of ‘C’ lot.

How to Prepare:  

Be sure to check Caltrans road conditions and winter driving tips before you hit the road!


  • If you are headed to Sierra on a stormy day, be prepared to be stopped at chain control. It’s a good idea to always carry chains during winter months as you never know when the conditions will change. See chain control locations with the Caltrans QuickMap.
