Replying to Epic pass road trip

alright so turning 21 next jan, will be real busy over the next 6 months so trying to work out the general plan and costs now.

i want to go to the colorado resorts, a basin, breck, vail, beaver creek, keystone. and potentially pcmr if i have time. probs going to hire some sort of van and sleep in that. not too worried about the cold. giving myself about 30-35 days. nothing set in stone yet.

cant afford the accomodation so thats why im going with the van

a couple of things i do need help with;

1) ideally id get a subaru outback or something and put a mattress in it. coming from australia its going to be a massive bitch buying, registering and insuring my own car. if you guys have any advice on van rentals that arent priced through the roof that would be good. or any mates that are selling a subie, ill give them $1500 and then return the car back to them after.

2) any ski lockers at these resorts? this would help considerably with drying gear and keeping wet stuff out of the sleeping area.

3) any rec centres in that area? showers would be most important but then i will have a lot of down time so the gym would be useful aswell.

4) overnight parking, not too fussed about this as im happy to set up wherever, but if theres overnight parking that would work well.

joining the army for engineering soon after so want to pack in as much skiing as possible, because i wont be able to much for the next few years. not too fussed about partying heaps, been to whistler and im not going for that sort of trip. will be smoking heaps anyways so thats sweet.


thanks
