Where to go in north west america for the rest of the season?
I am in south lake tahoe ATM and rather upset by the high tempuratures
and sunny forcast. I am thinking of heading somewhere else for the rest of the season (at least 1 more month, longer if the snow is still good). Where would you all recomend? I was thinking that north is the obvious direction, but I do not really know where the best snow is likely to be found. My priorities are; Good snow Cheapish (accomodation as well as lift tickets) Good terrain. I am particully into the steeps and deeps as people put it. I like the trees at heavenly, and I enjoy mott canyon when the snow is forgiving. Not too crowded. Driving time, though I am quite happy to do 2 days driving if it will take me to good snow. I thought that Mount hood meadows seemed like a good first stop, they have a spring pass for $99 that sounds like a darn good deal. ANyone know anything about accomodation (eg. a hostel) near here? If I was a local I could get a pass for the 3 resorts at baniff for $333 that is amazing, but I am not (a local). Is there any way to get one of these passes? Some people on the lifts have said it is best to head east, for example montana. Looking at the weather channel they do not seem to get the amount of snow, but is it better? Any suggestions welcome. Other places that have reasnoble spring passes are; Mount Washington $269 season (April 15th) Mission ridge $339.00 season summit at snoqualmie $379 season |

The good news is that there is plenty of base and skiing stretches into June. This is about the time the pickup trucks start hiding out in the woods.... |

Mt. Baker usually has lots of snow. The closest city is
Bellingham, which is a college town Western Wash U. Crystal Mt. has lots of tree skiing, steep skiing, etc. Don't forget Big Sky and Big Mt. in Montana. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
