1. Whats the deal with obers parking? It seems like theyve been making announcements about parking a lot lately, that the lits are full and to use the tram etc

2. What about winterplace? Whos been there lately. I expect it to be crowded during the holidays and all but is it worse than it has been? Hows parking and lift lines? Any trouble using an indy pass?

Have you checked out the Facebook Group for Indy Passholders? Might find someone who has experience using Indy at Winterplace.

Probably too late to be useful, but....

The only time I skied Ober, we rode the tram up. There's a good bit of parking available near the tram base. Didn't look like a lot of parking on the mountain, but I've never driven up there. (Also rode the tram the only other time I visited just enjoy the ride with some kids.)

Have you made it to Winterplace? I'm considering wandering over there in early March since I have Indy. Haven't been there in a long time.

Indy Spring Pass goes on sale on March 1 for $149.
