When permits are released
All quota-season (May 1 – September 30) entry-point permits for the ENTIRE season go on sale at once on the last Wednesday of January at 9:00 AM Central (7:00 AM Pacific) - no rolling window, no lottery, no later drop. After opening day, cancelled permits are randomly returned to inventory within 24 hours, so watching a sold-out entry point still pays off. Off-season permits are free self-issue at the entry point.
