Arriving at Whiteface Mountain Ski Area there is a variety of options and convinces to start your day off smooth. The first actually starts in Lake Placid and Wilmington with the Whiteface Mountain Valley Shuttle Service offering several pick-up locations in Lake Placid and Wilmington with curbside drop-off and pick-up at the Whiteface Mountain Main Lodge.

Driving to Whiteface there are a few options upon entering the ski area. First, you will be greeted by parking attendants guiding you where to best park your vehicle. There are three main lots before you reach the lodge, the earlier you get to Whiteface the closer your spot will be and the parking attendants are there to guide you to the closest spot. (See map – they will fill the blue lot, the green lot, and then the red.) The great thing about these lots is the continuous, free shuttle service that drops you right at the entrance to the main lodge so you don't have to worry about walking with all of your gear.

If you prefer to let your group out at the lodge before parking there is the public drop off area in front of the main lodge, next to the shuttle stop, where you can drop your friends, family, and equipment off directly in front of the main lodge and then park. To do this, drive past the three main lots, go over the bridge and then turn left to the drop-off area.

Another option is the pay lot, which is a short walk to the lodge (no shuttle service); this is marked as the gold/yellow parking lot on the map. You can access it by turning right after the bridge and then making the first left. This lot is handy if you need to access your vehicle during the day.

The final parking lots are over at Kids Kampus (marked in pink and purple on the map), you continue on the access road past the gold lot to the end. There is a free shuttle that runs all day between Kids Kampus and the Main Lodge or you can ski between the two lodges. Take the Home Run trail of the Bunny Hutch Triple chair to get from Kids Kampus to the Main Lodge or take the Silver Trail to get from the Main Lodge back to Kids Kampus.

You will also see people parking on the access road between the Main Lodge and Kids Kampus, this is allowed as long as you follow the no parking signs. Note: parking on the access road is not always as convenient as it may look, there is no shuttle pick-up, you have to walk directly on the road to get to the lodge and the walk at the end of the day is up hill.

Whiteface Mountain's free shuttle options make it easy to park anywhere, at the mountain or even your hotel.
