OPTION ONE: Parking Validation at Dobson Arena
For the 2024/25 season, Dobson users can validate their paper ticket (pulled at the entrance gate in the Lionshead parking structure) at the Dobson front desk and receive two hours of free parking. If you return to Dobson multiple times in a day, you can validate your ticket each time. Only one validation per entry ticket.

Two hours after entry, the validation will no longer void any parking fees.

Some important points to remember with the new validation system:

• Validation will provide two hours free if you exit within two hours from the time you enter. Example: enter at 9:20 a.m. and leave at 11:19 a.m.=free. Enter at 9:20 a.m. and leave at 11:21 a.m.=pay the 2-3 hour time block rate ($10/non-peak or $20/peak).
• In order to validate, you must have your paper ticket to scan. You will also need this ticket to exit.
• Validations cannot be used with Town of Vail parking passes, only the daily paper tickets. If the Town of Vail pass is used to enter, no discount will apply.

Who is this best for?

• Dobson users who plan to stay at the arena for under two hours (note: you can exit a structure and re-enter after 30 minutes).
• Dobson users who do not qualify for the local's pass.

OPTION TWO: Local Pass
Pass options can be found at www.vail.gov/parkingpasses

If you are purchasing a Local Pass for the first time, the Vail Local Pass is $25 and the Eagle County Local Pass is $50. You must show proof of eligibility. Passes are available for purchase at www.vailgov.com.

The Local Pass gets you the first two hours of parking for free during non-peak rate days and free parking when entering after 5 a.m. and leaving before 9 a.m., as long as you enter and exit within those hours. It is valid from Nov. 15 through April 20.

Who is this best for?

• Local players who practice early in the morning and will be done by 9 a.m.

PARKING AT RED SANDSTONE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (RSES)
551 N Frontage Rd W, Vail, CO 81657

If you don't qualify for the Local Pass, you may want to consider parking at the RSES parking garage, where the daily rate is cheaper than the Vail Village and Lionshead structures. From RSES, it is a 15-minute walk or short ride on the in-town bus system to Dobson.

There are four levels to the RSES parking garage; the first two are accessed immediately upon turning off of the north frontage road. Levels 3 and 4 can be accessed by turning right and going up the hill. Level 4 is available any day that school is not in session, so if you are looking for parking on a weekend day, Level 4 is a good option.

RED SANDSTONE STRUCTURE PARKING DAILY RATES

• 0-2 Hours: Non-Peak: FREE | Peak: FREE
• 2+ Hours: Non-Peak: $10 ($5 w/ local pass) | Peak: $20 ($10 w/ local pass)
• Overnight, 4 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Levels 1-3 only): Non-Peak: $35| Peak: $35
