We
have parking
lots at the Wildcat Base and Albion
Base. If you have beginner skiers in your group or
need day care or ski school services we recommend
the Albion Base parking lot. Intermediate skiers
and Advanced skiers are encouraged to park in the
Wildcat Base parking lot. All lifts and runs can
be accessed from either parking lot. Insider tip
- Intermediate & Advanced skiers looking to get
to the Sugarloaf lift or even Supreme Lift, use the
Wildcat Base parking lot and ride Collins Lift. It's
quicker and more fun.

We
found that our skiers were curious about the park,
and had a lot of fun times jibbing. But we were astonished
to discover that many more of our skiers preferred
to use the natural terrain features, on our 2200 Acres,
as their "park".
