                                               Due to limited space, RV, camper and trailer parking is not allowed on Wood Run Dr  

​​​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​​​​As Wood Run is now completely built out and Sunrise Ridge is close to be being fully developed, it is important for everyone's safely and enjoyment that we fully observe parking rules and regulations in our neighborhoods. Therefore we have adopted what we think are more clearly defined parking guidelines which should minimize complications, obstructions and disruptions amongst all of us.

We have formulated these policies with the residents and owners enjoyment and safety in mind. The current board has had over 35 years of combined ownership experience in Wood Run and 15+ years in Sun Rise Ridge in formulating these policies. We have walked the neighborhoods to ensure that these policies will insure emergency vehicle access. We then presented this plan to the Resort, Big Mountain Fire Department and Talos Security for their input and approval. They are in FULL agreement with these guidelines. This policy is in place to allow for fire and emergency vehicle access.

 Please review this in detail for you and/or your guests. In addition, the resort has put up "No Public Parking" signs that align with these policies. The signs read as follows:

               Private Subdivision
               No Public Parking
               Towing Will Be Enforced

Here is a summary of the Parking Policy.

Overnight Parking:

There is NO on street parking allowed overnight in Sun Rise Ridge or Wood Run subdivisions with the following exception: During the summer months only, (May, after full snow melt, through September) there are three asphalt bumps-outs in the Wood Run subdivision where overnight parking is allowed for cars and standard size pickup trucks only, provided they are fully within the bump-out area and not extending into the road. RV's campers, trailers and boats are not allowed to park in the bump-outs at any time. There is no on street overnight parking allowed anywhere during the winter. All vehicles must be parked within the driveway of the unit occupied.  No vehicles may park in the cul-de-sac, or other driveways.  Violators will be towed on the first offense at the owner's expense.  Any vehicle in the bump-outs which extend into the roadway, past the end of a driveway, parked in any cul-de-sac or other driveway will be towed at the owner's expense.  If you have guests visiting during the day or evening hours (dinner, day hike, cocktail party), and your driveway is full, then guests are to park on the downhill side of the road in Wood Run as close to your home as practical.  This short-term parking for your visiting guests must not block any driveway access.  Any cars parked on the opposite side of the road will be ticketed with no exceptions. If you have two or more cars visiting you on a temporary basis and parked on the downhill side of the road please call Talos Security at 406-890-0920 or email at: bigmtnsecurity@talosmt.com. to advise them in advance.  If you live in Wood Run and observe that cars are not parked according to this policy, call Talos Security. As is the case with noise complaints, Talos is familiar with our parking policy and trained to deal with violations. If you rent your property, it is your responsibility that your renters and your management company understand and comply with this policy.

Daytime Parking:

Parking is permitted during the day for vehicles and regular size pickup trucks of owners and their guests on the downhill side of the road only, except as described in this policy. RV's may not be park on the road or in driveways. Boats, trailers and other small ancillary vehicles may be parked for short terms in driveways so long as they do not extend beyond the end of the driveway.

​Overflow and Other Parking:

Wood Run - Currently the only approved overflow parking is in the resort owned Larch Lot (across form Kandahar Lodge). If the bump-outs are full, all vehicles, including cars and standard size pickup trucks, that need to park overnight must park in the Larch Lot. Remember that no overnight parking is allow on the street at anytime. RV's and overnight campers must purchase a permit to camp in the Aspen Lot. Vehicles in violation of the policy are subject to be towed at the owners expense.  

Sun Rise Ridge - If your driveway parking area is full, your visiting guests are allowed to park on the downhill side of the road ONLY. Again, no parking is allowed overnight. If your guests park on the uphill side of the road they will be ticketed with no exceptions. 

If you are planning on having two or more cars parked by visiting guests on the downhill side of the road during the day, please call Talos Security at 406-890-0920 or email at: bigmtnsecurity@TalosMT.com to advise them in advance.  If you rent your property, it is your responsibility that your renters and your management company understand and comply with this policy.

In addition to towing, repeat violations may incur additional penalties. 

Please consult the attached map for the location of the lots and bump-outs.
