Are there any dry slopes or airbags in Oregon that aren't camp only?

I live in Oregon currently and would love to practice tricks but it seems like all the dry slopes and airbags in Oregon for skiers/snowboarders are camp only and I don't really want to pay like 1k to access it. I would go to Timberline but it is also a bit expensive being 130/day, which for me is quite expensive. Are there any alternatives to these in Oregon?
 
Honestly it seems like the best in America is Maximise in montreal. They have a dry slop airbag. No idea what it costs but looks pretty legit.

Honestly the dry slopes at hood camps don't seem that nice. Do a spring pass if you can though. That's the best value
 
The FTC at Timberline is well worth $130 in my opinion. Otherwise scrape up some material and build a dry slope! Fun to do and if it works you'll have fun all summer.
 
I got a dryslope at my house!

Or just go to hood and ski some backcountry and build a jump. You don't have to buy a lift ticket to get some summer training. Hiking is good for you anyway
 
Isn't the airbag camp only though? Trampoline is always fun too but just doesn't have the same feel as actually doing it.

I guess, never been to the FTC part of Timberline but what I've heard it's great. Is the best time to go when it open? also where do most people stay? I'm currently in high school so I can't afford like actual places so I was considering camping somewhere near there.

Nope the airbag is public, just like the rest of the timberline park, with the $130 FTC ticket. But there usually is a pretty sizable line for the airbag it during the camp days. If you go, Saturday is the best day, the rails are high and a majority of the camp kids aren't there.

If I were to do a 3 day trip do you think like Friday, Saturday and Sunday would be best or more like Saturday, Sunday and Monday?

FTC is closed on Sunday. Public Park is still open but this time of year you wanna be riding FTC. And in my opinion the rails suck on Monday as they just got reset and are just a few inches off the ground.

Good chance you could just poach and hike public park without a ticket if you're sneaky

Let the nuts hang and take your idea right to snow like a real skier
 
For FTC do you think Thursday, Friday and Saturday? I just want to avoid the campers and go on days with less people. I've heard that some people try to sneak into the FTC but sometimes they get banned or kicked out.

This saturday is the last day of the ftc for the summer so you'll need to move fast if you want to hit the air bag. Otherwise public park should be a fun time for the rest of the summer
