Replying to Meadows vs Fusion vs BC

Hey everybody, I'm new here to Portland and just trying to firgure out what means of shredding is the best bang for your buck and in general the funnest terrain.

I'm looking for cliffs and lines and stepdowns more then rails and jumps. However, I also would like to avoid large lift lines that I'm heard are frequent at Meadows.... is Meadows the way to go or would the Fusion (Ski Bowl and T Line) Pass be better.

Or should I just save money and hike lines and build jumps in the nearby bc. and on that note, where are some good areas to go play around at?
