Resorts that allow parking lot camping?
After having a less than enjoyable experience getting woken up by Squaw security a few years ago at 1 am and being told to move I'm wondering what resorts allow/don't allow parking lot camping. I'm just talking about crashing in the back of my pickup for a night or two storm chasing, not erecting a small Everest-esque base camp.
Washington
Alpental - Allowed
Stevens - Allowed
White Pass - Allowed
Baker -?
Crystal?
Tahoe
Squaw - not so freindly
Kirkwood - Allowed
Alpine Meadows - Allowed, although I did wake up to the parking lot attendants getting ready to move my truck for me because I didn't park facing the right direction...
What say the maggoty masses?"These are crazy times Mr Hatter, crazy times. Crazy like Buddha! Muwahaha!"

On my summit trip I slept in the Squaw lot with out any problems, other than it being the shittiest bright lot in the world. Kirkwood follow the instructions and you're good. I slept at Snowbasin as well with out any problems and it was nice and dark.
Move along nothing to see here.

Bachelor allows.
Hoodoo charges, but you can camp in the Ray-Benson sno-park 1/4 mile away for the price of a sno park pass.
Will Pass is a sno park as well.

Absolutely...I've stayed slopeside there a few times. I think you may need to sleep in the lower lot, then move to the spot right next to the ticket window early in the AM.

At wolf creek they even give you a wake up call, someone knocks on your car to move it, or at least they did when I went down there last winter. That place is a blast, may not have any substaned vertical but it gets dumped on all the time. Leave the front range by like ten get to wolf creek sleep a few hours and ski your ass off.

I haven't had trouble at Winter Park on the WP side, but signs warn against it on the Jane side. I've heard, though, that you're fine even in the Challenger Lot as long as you don't mind getting moved if it's snowing and the plows are working.

I think it's more about whether or not you get caught than whether or not it is allowed...

Yep, you can also park overnight in Alpine lot at Copper for Janet's cabin. They used to make you put a print-out of your hut reservation in the window though. Originally Posted by SkiBall
