• Current portal distribution of skiers on Vail Mountain Skier Distribution 33
Overflow Parking • In 2000, average number of cars parked on Frontage Rd. was 483 cars • In 2009, average number of cars parked those days was 355 cars • In 2008/2009 ski season, there
were 24 days when cars parked on the Frontage Road • Equates to an average of 877 skiers parking on the Frontage Road 34
• Estimate of where Frontage Road parked skiers access Vail Mountain Frontage Road Skier Portal Distribution 35
Ever Vail Parking Structure • Total of 1,551 parking spaces • Similar to other structures -will serve mix of skiers, commercial, and residential uses • Vail Village Structure has 1,150
spaces • Lionshead Structure has 1,250 spaces 36

• Skier portal distribution with Ever Vail (based on January 10, 2009) Portal Effects of Evervail 17% 31% 48% 4% 40
Cascade 4% Lionshead 48% Vail Village 31% Golden Peak 17%Skier Portal Distribution Ever Vail 10% Cascade 3% Lionshead 44% Vail Village 27% Golden Peak 16% Current With Ever Vail 41
Summary of Benefits & Effects • Ever Vail will have little effect on the numbers of skiers at the various portals • Will increase skier population at Eagles Nest, so some effects to
Chair 2 and Chair 7 • Will result in significant reduction in vehicles parked on the Frontage Rd. • Public parking capacity will increase 22% (2,400 to 3,100 spaces) 42
Effects on Manage-To Number • Manage-To number of 19,900 skiers based on agreement with the TOV, Forest Service, and Vail Resorts • Exceeded five times in past 10 years, by approx 300
skiers. • Ever Vail’s skier population of 908 skiers is well within capacity of manage-to number • Comfortable Carrying Capacity of the mountain is 23,470 skiers, with planned improvements
increasing it to 26,450. 43
