We’ve catalogued many of the policies and costs imposed by ski areas across the pacific northwest who allow overnight van camping or RV parking in their parking lot. This list summarizes our experience and research.
I made my own handlebar mitts (pogies). I used 1.5mm neoprene, made my own template (PDF layout/instructions), and developed a working prototype in a couple hours. I am very pleased with the results and the bar mitts are quite effective at blocking the wind and making cold rides much more enjoyable. Total cost – about $15.
