Replying to Mt Hood summer skiing

so me and my buddies are thinking of driving up to hood this summer for a week, but not doing a camp because we're poor.

does anyone know how much it costs for a ticket? and i read somewhere that windells has a access pass and you dont have to be a camper?

its probably $300 just in gas money from reno and then we'll have to figure out like a motel or something.

anyone else have any thoughts? especially ticket info...
