There are two day lodges with parking and full amenities White Salmon and Heather Meadows, and a third ski-in lodge "Raven Hot Cafe" with food. Tip: bring US Dollar cash; while MasterCard and Visa are accepted for lift tickets and gear rentals, cash gets you a discount, and only cash is accepted at some food counters. Heather Meadows lodge is a better starting point for new visitors, since it has a wider range of gear rental and good access to the slopes.
