Replying to Mt.Hood Meadows Ski bum

I am going to Mt. Hood Meadows at the end of this month and am staying with my sister and her boyfriend in salem and was going to take the shuttle tues-thurs but rather go tues and stay till mon up there spending as little as possible and nothing if I could.. I will have a few slabs and my Toro with me so no sketch locations. Any tips or ideas? I have money I could spend but rather not let it go through living arrangements for a short period of time.
