We were thinking of doing this also. We were gunna rent an rv and split the cost between like 8 people, came out pretty cheap. We were thinking about going to mt. Hood, and just stopping at whatever places we drove by on the way back.

OP no offense but this kinda of thing has been going on for a long time and has the most prestigious title in the ski community.

It is known as "being a ski bum". Not cross country road trip with skiing.

All Line did was video taped it and called it something else.

If you're gonna go to Bear you might as well drive the extra few hours and go to Mammoth.
