At our home area I usually leave the bag in the car on the Mt. Rose side (we park at an area where it's hop on/hop off the slope. On the Slide side I've booted up at that car but mostly go into the lodge to boot up during the week. It's usually pretty slow and I put my lesser pack next to @Philpug's Thermal Trekker. Find a bag nicer than yours and leave your bag near! On the busy days I'll boot at the car since it's still a really close walk.
