I don't think it is likely Abasin that is the hold up in adding parking. I imagine it's the forest service permitting. Between the limited space (much of which is in avalanche paths) and the fact that parking limits the impact on FS land -- I imagine its a bit of a pickle.
A better alternative in my mind is significant parking expansion in Dillon/Silverthorne for both Keystone/Abasin. Make it free, subsidized via lift tickets/season passes.
Of course I'd love to see a shuttle between Abasin and Loveland too, but the space limitation is similar on the Loveland side.
