Pretty much riding off the VT guy (below), but wondering if anybody has found solid place that allow legal camping - hopefully in parking lots - at ski areas. I know there are one or two in WA, but if anybody can pass any info along I'd appreciate. Ideally it would be in the West - Idaho, Washington, Montana, Oregon? I have a smaller RV and would love to spend a week "somewhere else" doing something different.

Thanks.

Camped at the airstrip for a few weeks when I went to Hood and it was pretty sick. It's only 10 minutes from Timberline, 5 from govy, free, and there was a bunch of pretty cool people when I was there. The coordinates are roughly: 45.280422, -121.734024. Not sure if timberline allows overnight parking though.

I used this website this summer a lot. More of camping in general then ski areas.

anthony lakes is the chillest mountain in the northwest. buy a $5 parking pass and no one will ever hassle you

further east, into idaho, Brundage is equally relaxed and awesome. kinda feels like a mini Brighton
