How is the park up there right now? Mostly looking for jumps for some last minute training. How big is the jumpline and is it a good 3 jump line like they always have on Pinball, I believe.

Yeah, definitely a sick setup. I couldn't tell you what the jumps measure though, I'm sure the site says.

Haven't been to Northstar in a few weeks, but if you can get to Sierra instead I recommend it.  Bashful has two little 15 footers and then a smooooth 3 jump line going from 20 to maybe 35 or 40.  The Alley last time I was there had a 35 footer and a 45 footer, something like that.  The Bashful line is smooth smooth smooth though.

Why do I still bother with Northstar. Every time I go it blows. Pretty long lines, so many features were taken out, and in general it was lame. Super fun rails at the top of pinball, but the jumps were kinda weak, and they were rebuilding part of pinball and another part was closed for the Burton AM comp. Went to Squaw and it was super fun. Great jumps, even though there weren't many, fun rails and boxes, no lines, and when I felt like leaving the park to do some real skiing, the terrain was insane and the 6-7 inches of new snow helped make it even better. I want to hit Northstar again when the park is in full swing because it looks so fun, but it's always so crowded, and Squaw has always been way better. I definitely want to check out Alpine as far as park goes. Overall, it was a super fun trip!

Okay, that came out wrong. I like Northstar, it just seems like every time I go, something is fucked up. I want to end up there when the park is in full-swing because what they did have was super fun.

80 dollars is ajoke for a day (if even that) of skiing..

Squaw is lik 89 dollars or some bullshit. Thank god for my season pass.  Infact all of tahoes resorts seem outragously expensive for day passes.  In WA an OR they are so much cheaper.
