SNO-PARK Permits

A SNO-Park permit is required for each vehicle parked at a SNO-Park site from November 1 through May 30 of each year. Permits come in two types: 

  • Day Permits
    • $15.00 and valid for a single day
  • Season permits
    • $40.00 and cover the full SNO-Park season

 Please note: Snow-cleared parking lots cannot be guaranteed on a daily basis because of weather conditions and snow plowing priorities.

SNO-Park lots may  also need to be closed for safety during avalanche control operations by CalTrans.

The SNO-Park permit must be displayed on the left side of the vehicle dashboard where it can be seen clearly from outside the vehicle.

  • All permits sold are non-refundable; day permits are non-transferable (meaning no visitation date changes).
  • Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis at all SNO-Park sites. No refunds are issued if your preferred SNO-PARK location is full.
  • Any vehicle parked at a SNO-Park site without a permit properly displayed is subject to an $94.50 minimum fine.
    • For any questions regarding fines, please contact the court or law enforcement office in the county where the SNO-Park site is located.
