Since I am very susceptible to altitude sickness I am hoping that
someone could give me some suggestions for ski destinations with the
following criteria:
1) Located in the western US, preferably no further north than Northern
California.
2) Base camp no highter than 8,500 feet.

Base camp?
Forget it.
You have to trade elevation for latitude: chose one.
Hood, Crystal, Bend. Shasta is low, but small, and there is a hot
springs resort not far but it's not open in winter.

The bases of most of the stuff around Tahoe is about 6K +or- a few
hundred feet excepting Kirkwood and Rose and the other resorts on the
Crest.

3) Easy access to hot springs, warm swimming pools.

I tried looking in several web sites for this information but none
seemed to offer criterion #2 as a search option. Is there any such web
site?

Minus the HS (separate guide books), the Reuters world skiing guide
has elevations.

Of course, I know that altitiude sickness goes away in 3 to 4 days but
I dont have more than 3 to 4 days for a ski vacation :-(

If it's a vacation worth it to you, go further North in latitude.
