Off-grid Winter RVing Question
Hi everyone, I have a 21 foot Toyota Dolphin that I'm planning to take on long ski weekends on Mt. Hood. Typical nighttime temps are in the low teens. Sometimes (thought rarely) single digits. Dayt...

We're hittin Bachelor now? Batch is a MUCH MUCH more RV-friendly critter than anything along Santiam pass, although I'm still not considering Meadows.
But if Batch is in play, why not Hoodoo? Those guys host an RV park in their lot, 20 ft from the lift, PLUS there's a stylin Sno-Park within ski boot walking distance, PLUS PLUS Hoodoo has better steeps than any of the previous choices.
Back to Batch: tenting is not allowed in the winter anywhere near the road. Apparently a few years ago somebody pitched a tent 50 ft from the highway and got crushed and buried from the spray from a grinding plow. No tenting!
As Steve says, there is plenty of alpine skiing(FWIW), but there is also world class XC basicaly everywhere. Tracked, skating and outback, whatever you want. Also, plenty of Sno-Mo's so don't hog the road!
Again, the OP isn't going to get the cold temps he expects until he gets to Bachelor, then he really will. Meadows maybe, can't say because I've only been there once.
