Travel + lodging

Arrive as part of the event.

Denver express

One reserved round trip is included with every Full Phase Pass. Accessible coaches run in every service window, with declared space for ski and snowboard equipment.

Calder connector

A continuous event shuttle links official hotels, Calder Relay Station, and Frostline Basin from before gates until after the last public program.

Driving

There is no general guest parking at Frostline Basin. Limited reserved parking and rideshare drop-off are located at Calder Relay Station.

Where to stay

Frostline has the shortest event journey. Calder offers the best balance of access and flexibility. Denver works for guests using day-return coaches. Lodging is sold separately and camping is not available.

Accessibility

Access planned for snow, grade, and cold.

  • Accessible Denver and Calder transport in every service window
  • Step-free primary route between Arrival Lodge, Basecamp, Phase Hall, and Aurora Yard
  • Heated accessible viewing deck at Summit Course
  • Companion seating and accessible restrooms in every primary zone
  • Captioned hosted programming and emergency information
  • Quiet Lodge and priority warming access
  • Tracked mobility assistance for selected higher viewing terraces

The primary viewing deck is independently accessible by a maintained route. Higher snow terraces require reserved assistance and may change with surface conditions.

Weather

Conditions can move a session.

Competition may pause for visibility, wind, lightning, or avalanche-control work. Aurora Yard moves indoors when outdoor limits are crossed. Phase Hall, Basecamp, and warming spaces remain active whenever safely possible.

Sunday morning contains a protected recovery window for delayed qualifiers or finals. Changes appear on the website, venue screens, transport boards, and optional SMS alerts.

What to bring

Pack for the actual mountain.

Bring waterproof layers, insulated boots with traction, warm gloves, eye protection, an empty refillable bottle, photo ID, and a spare dry layer. A conditions-based packing update is published three days before gates.

Bag and equipment

Bags up to 18 × 14 × 8 inches are permitted. Personal cameras with lenses under six inches are welcome. Drones, glass, outside alcohol, fireworks, laser pointers, tents, and unauthorized vending are prohibited.

Conduct

Harassment, violence, course intrusion, dangerous intoxication, or interference with safety operations may result in removal. Guests should obtain consent before sustained close-up photography of another attendee.

FAQ

Useful answers.

Do I need to ski or snowboard?

No. Public guests watch from maintained viewing areas, and a ticket does not include recreational lift access.

Is transport from Denver included?

Yes. One reserved Denver round trip or unlimited Calder connector travel is included with the Full Phase Pass.

Can I attend only at night?

No. The transformation from day to night is central to the event, and transport capacity is managed across each full day.

Is there a VIP ticket?

No. Essential warming, viewing, transport, water, and rest facilities are available to every guest.

What happens during bad weather?

The event may hold, move, or reschedule outdoor sessions. Indoor programming and guest services continue whenever safely possible.

Is there an event app?

The mobile website carries the schedule and alerts. Essential information is also available on venue screens and from staffed desks.
