Hoodoo is all right, but you'll know most of the mountain by the end of your first day there. It's small, and every time i've been there there's only one small park, typically with a couple rails, and a small jump or two. Most of the runs are fun and sometimes get powder, but they aren't especially big or challenging. You should have no trouble finding seating in the lodge, I never have. It's a nice place, just small. Really good for beginners, I did alot of my early skiing there, and I still go every now and then when I'm in the area.
You should try to go out to hood or bachelor some weekends, cause you'll probably get bored at hoodoo if you're there all season. Make some friends with houses in govy or bachelor village.
