Spring Pass Dilemma...

Squaw, alpine, or boreal?

Facts:
I ski on the weekends.
Squaw & boreal are open til May 30th, Alpine is open til May 17th.
Squaw is $199, boreal is $129 for a night pass next year, which allows use for the remainder of this year, alpine is $99.

Not sure which has the best spring park, but I hear alpine's jumps are sick, yet squaw's landings bake in the sun, then boreal is easy access and has a fun park.

Any help would be much appreciated, and of course, +K'd.

All of them are pretty fun this time of year. But, for the prices listed, Alpine is your best bet. Squaws landings do bake in the sun, but their park this year HAS been pretty pathetic. That's not to say they might step it up a little here at the end, but with one of their park groomers at Boreal now, that seems pretty unlikely. Boreal's park is super fun, but by 12:30 it is hard to find any speed. The only downfall with Alpine's pass is that it is only open on weekends beginning on a certain date. If you are only going to be riding weekends anyway this shouldn't be an issue. For $99, Alpine is the best bargain and place to ski this Spring.

thanks man, that's kind of what i've been thinking. Only problem is that it's open for two weeks less, so i would have to pay four days of weekend tickets, which would add up.

I would not even consider another pass then the boreal pass. I mean you will get to ski all next season on your pass too, seems like a no brainer. Not to mention Boreal will be open threw may.
