Re: Advice? Mt. Bachelor, Mt. Baker, Big Sky or Aleyska? DEC.

Allright OREGON folks,

I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to spend a week traveling to a few
of your resorts, which all seem pretty nice.  It is tough to figure out driving
times from the websites, and I'd expect they'd all be different with snow on
the ground.

If you can, have a look at this anal chart below and let me know if I'm on the
right track.  I used either the lodge or the lodging location (hood river for
the meadows, government camp for mt. hood ski bowl, etc.).  But, timberline and
hood have the same zipcode so it was tough to figure.

I'm thinking, get the long drive out of the way first and do Bachelor for
2-3 days, then hit 2 of the other resorts.
Unless we can only get a late flight, then hit a close resort first.
