Replying to ATTENTION MT HOOD/PORTLAND PPL

Yo, I'm a freshman at LC college with no car living in Portland, but I'm really tryna ski Hood on the weekends. I've got buddies that will ski Meadows with me but I kind of want to go with the fusion pass. That way I can ski Timberline + Ski Bowl. I'm a park rat but I also want to explore Hood as I'm used to Minnesota skiing.
I'll probably only be able to ski once a week, sat or sun. Trying to get the best bang for my buck. Sub $400 seems like a good deal for Fusion.
Recommendations? You Hood locals know better than I do.
Once again I'm a park rat who also wants to get a taste of big mountain skiing.
Fusion Pass? Meadows Pass?
Also, if anyone who lives in Portland is tryna link up and shred I will def donate some gas $$.
