STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-October 30, 2023-In a town that measures its snow in feet, not inches, and often receives snow early in the season, November signals the start of seasonal parking requirements so crews can maintain streets, parking lots and alleyways during the winter.
We’re asking for everyone’s help in making that a bit easier by adhering to the city’s winter parking requirements which go into effect this Wednesday,” commented Streets Superintendent David Van Winkle. “Keeping our streets clear and open for travel is our top priority in our community.”
Parking is compounded by snow, which accumulates fast in a mountain town like Steamboat Springs. To expedite snow removal efforts, winter parking is prohibited on city streets and shoulders during the following hours:
Winter parking restrictions run from November 1 through April 30. Vehicles may be ticketed if left on city right-of-way within the restricted hours and/or towed during snowplow operations. Should you receive a parking citation, tickets can be paid online.

In addition, there is no overnight parking/camping on any city street including parking areas such as Howelsen Hill Ski Area, Howelsen Rodeo Grounds, Howelsen Ice Arena, Stockbridge, or Emerald Park.
“We need everyone to familiarize themselves with parking regulations and laws around town as we head into winter,” said Community Service Supervisor Krista Amatuzio. “It’s important to pay attention to timed parking and no parking signs around town.”
Streets are prioritized according to public safety requirements and traffic volumes, with a focus on access routes for emergency vehicles, transit, and commercial routes, before moving into residential areas. Parking complaints can be reported to Police Dispatch at 970.879.1144.
