After an expensive year-long legal battle with two season-pass holders free parking has returned to the resort. An 80-year-old attorney and another man whose first job out of college was parking cars at the mountain now owned by Vail Resorts filed separate lawsuits when Northstar California replaced traditional free parking with $20 daily fees ($40 weekends) after they'd purchased their passes.
