Afton Alps pass for next year?

I had a pass to Welch last couple of years... found it too far to drive for daily skiing... so tell me why I shouldn't buy a pass to Afton. I've read some of your thoughts about previous years, but maybe they are improving it? I'd say I'll be 80/20 park/downhill riding.

Appreciate the help...

because nobody likes afton
i honestly get depressed when i ski there because everything is so shitty
they put their jumps and rails so that anyone that goes off the jumps basically lands on someone waiting to hit a rail/box
it just sucks....

Man that sucks.. my buddy loves the place and wants to ride there often... maybe I'll see if they have a 5-10 pack of tickets for Afton and check out Hyland for my season pass... nothing is close to Roseville though, ha

yea
i hate afton, its not fun at all 
theres always crazy parents too that bitch at you
there park is a disgrace to parks, there jumps dont have landings, they make huge kickers on to rails that boost you like 2 feet over the rail


so over all afton sucks, go back to welch, come to troll, go to wild, go to hyland

at the rock and ride in march, the jump they had set up was actually pretty  nice, it had a huge landing, but all the other times ive been there the jumps have sucked, so do the rails
