Sorry for putting this thread on the big stage but I need some quick advice and the Regional threads are slow this time of year.  I'm debating on whether or not to fly out to Spokane, WA thurs apr 21st for a wedding that my gf is standing up in.  I have to decide today and the only way I am going to pull the trigger is if a NSer familiar w the Spokane area can offer me some good itinerary related advice.  I have already tried to figure this out for myself using google but in the last hour I am still yet to determine if Mt. Hood is in Oregon(Finkle) or Washington(Einhorn).  Can someone please tell me which of the 5 Mt Hoods would be my best bet?  Or is there another resort closer to Spokane?  Thanks fellas...

Thank you for your response, I thought it was only 2 hours each way.  No way I can swing the 8 hour round trip drive in one day.

should probably touch up on your geography before spouting off random ski areas with no bearing on where they are.



Pasco is a long drive from anywhere. About 3.5 hours to govy.

Govy???  Yeah if the closest place is 3.5 hours that means I'm leaving my hotel 5:45am, smokin a b on the chair with DoubleU at 10am, skiing till closing, driving 3.5hrs back to the hotel in hopes of having 3.5hrs of QT to spend at The Pasco Saloon.  Sounds like a boatload of work for a late season session but I think i'm gonna book it.
