Use Waterville's free lots before budgeting for preferred parking

Open tip ↗

Waterville lists lots 1–9 as free and offers a free winter shuttle connecting the mountain, Town Square and lodging stops. The base-lodge drop-off has a 10-minute limit and vehicles cannot be left unattended. For free lots, plan a walk or shuttle to the lifts; the FAQ distinguishes their ski-out routes from the paid Preferred lot's ski-in/ski-out access. Follow current signs and open-trail information. The linked timetable is labeled 3/30, so verify your winter dates, stops and last return before relying on it. Snowy mornings can delay the shuttle. Compare the free option with any paid parking quote in your trip budget.
