For the east cost the American Dream Mall in New Jersey is gonna open soon. They’re supposed to have an indoor slope with real snow, somewhere around 800ft long. Not the greatest but saves you a plane ticket and housing if you’re in the New England area. I think they’re gonna have a park too.

I'm afraid I'm not much of a camping guy and have small kids so I try to avoid sleeping in my vehicle.

Mammoth is where its at. I am betting (and hoping) on a later closing date than July 7.
There is free camping everywhere around Mammoth as its public lands. Don't blow it.

You can always camp around Hood, May need to buy a pass from the forest service depending on the area but here is always someone looking for a roommate in government camp just below Tline.

If you got an ice rink near your house that’s the move. Get yourself a truck or a car with a tarp, and go find some spot. Yea people will think your crazy but it works
