Can you pitch a tent at mt hood or any summer place?

its not that bad. you can charge your stuff at the outlets at timberline lodge after your done skiing for the day. also you can charge your stuff in your car. or if you wana be real legit get a 800 Watt generator for around $130
 
This thread is a goldmine for tips and secrets thankyou much especially skierboy26 and jesus. im planning on moving to hood in the next couple weeks to bum it for the summer. since last post, has forest service cracked down on airstrip at all? also, hows timberline parking lot for car camping currently? much appreciated.
 
when i saw this thread, i thought of that video

looks like i already posted it #winning
 
you can camp. watch out for thieves. ive had friends get their shit stolen while they were away during the day time.
 
... yes pitching a tent is absolutely the best way to go about skiing for the summer. Anywhere you go for summer shred will be a resort town and as such, rent will be through the roof. If you are an experienced camper, than I fully recomend you just pitch a tent off in the woods wherever it is you want to live. Just watch out for the black bears, theyr like dogs and will do anything for your food. For the past 2 summers since I was 17, i hitchhike out to whistler from ottawa so i can shred the glacier over there, pitch my tent up on blackcomb mountain. Use the food bank wisely, and bring a mini propane stove so you can cook shit
 
Last summer my friend and I drove from PA to Mt.hood it was one of the best experiences I have had in my life no doubt. You can camp at Lake Trillium for up to 2 weeks at the same camp site after that you have to move to another site. This is the same area as the airstrip minus all the wreckless parties.
