I’ve been  scolding Colorado ski resorts for a while now about talking green while doing little that makes a big difference such as opening a few weeks later (making snow is a serious energy suck) and rewarding carpoolers with free parking. (Aspen is an exception.)

Well, Breckenridge did not listen to the first part. The resort opens Thursday at Peak 8 with lots of man-made snow. But this year they have changed parking rates to reward carpoolers. Huzzah! Breck, you get a gold star.

This year parking in the Gondola lots will be $5 during the week (Mon-Thurs) and $10 on weekends (Fri-Sun) and Holidays. But for cars with four or more people,  lots will be free during the week  and $5 on the weekends  and holidays. To kick off the carpooling incentives opening weekend, carpool with four or more and enter to win four Club Level seats to a Denver Nuggets or Colorado Avalanche game or Breckenridge Ski School Adventure Sessions for up to four people.
