TL;DR
Park City Mountain Resort is converting the previously free Cabriolet lot at Canyons Village to paid parking from the 2026-27 season. The US$29 daily charge represents another reduction in free parking options across Utah resorts, though several workarounds remain available.
Park City Converts Last Major Free Parking Area to Paid Model
Park City Mountain Resort has announced that the Cabriolet lot at Canyons Village will switch from free to paid parking starting the 2026-27 season, with daily rates set at US$29. The move eliminates one of the last convenient free parking options at Utah ski resorts and coincides with the completion of a new parking garage and replacement gondola system.
The Cabriolet lot previously offered one of the better propositions for parking at Park City - free access with relatively quick connections to Canyons Village lifts. That ends next season, though the resort has structured the new pricing with some concessions that soften the blow.

Free Parking Workarounds Still Exist
Before you start calculating season-long parking costs, several free options remain. The surface lot adjacent to the new parking garage will stay free, though with limited capacity that will require early arrivals to secure spots. After 12 p.m., parking becomes free even in the new garage - useful for anyone not concerned about first tracks. Groups of four or more qualify for free parking at any time, a clear push toward carpooling.More distant lots, including the Park City High School car park, will also remain free. The trade-off is additional time accessing the mountain, though shuttle services typically run from these overflow areas.
