01 Community / Free / New this winter

Fill the car.
Park free at Stevens.

Stevens Pass needs a parking reservation on most weekends and holidays. Cars with four or more people park free; everyone else pays $20. Treeskier Carpool fills those seats, so more of us ride up together. The app costs nothing to use: no fees, no subscription.

Signing up takes about two minutes at carpool.treeskier.co: just your email, no password, no cost. Not affiliated with Stevens Pass or Vail Resorts.

  1. Riders

    Find a seat by date.

    Every trip shows timing, gear room, and what each person pays, including if fewer than four go.

  2. Drivers

    Post your empty seats.

    Drivers are vouched for before they post, and approve every rider. A waitlist fills seats that open up.

  3. The morning

    Meet, then up US-2.

    Monroe Park & Ride is the default meetup. Your car’s names and numbers appear the evening before.
