Trying to decide on where to get our pass this year. never really skied holly during the middle of the season, only been there when there were like 4 jibs set up. alpine was sick, but wondering if holly was better. Im more of a jibber then a jump guy. Want to be able to take quick laps. Anyones input?

I had a season pass at both this past season.

ALPINE

Mostly snowboarders, lots of jibs, around 30+ this past year, averaging 5 jumps of different sizes, park crew is lazy.

HOLLY

A lot more skiers than Alpine, pretty chill vibe, very few jibs, only about 10ish, easy to lap the few jibs that they have because of the rope tow, jumps were OK, and had a decent selection of sizes

A little more info I forgot, Alpine has a halfpipe, its real small and not kept up very good, ive seen skiers throw 7s in it, its fun to screw around in. Alpine also has more of a variety for all skill levels when it comes to jumps and jibs. Alpine's chairlift seats are very uncomfortable. My Holly pass was free.

alpine has a growing skiing crowd and some of the boarders there a re pretty chill but some of them think they are the shit and run the place its really freaking annoying. Alpine has a towrope jib and jump line as well and probably had around 30 jibs and 5 jumps lat year btwn 10 and 30-40 feet, they also had a 42 foot rail which was mad fun. I would say alpine just because i got my pass there and we need more skiiers!!!!

growing skier crowd? maybe.....this will be my 4th year there with a pass, and there has never been a legit skiing crowd, only like 5 with a pass. I guess there were a few added this past year.

in regards to boarders being chill - not a chance, a few years ago there was a skiers/boarders fight, myself included, there was also an instance when some skiers were slayin a flat box, the boarders didnt like that, so they came over with some shovels, dug out the box, and dragged it away

the park is definatly all boarder oriented, and there always a few features set up in which a way they are more dificult for skiers to hit.

it seems like alpine would fit better for me since i like jibs alot. but i defiantly hate arrogant boarders. we are going to be most likely be doing alot of filming at the place we get a pass to, which sounds like alpine right now. since there is a small number of skiers at alpine, you guys down to do some filming with us?

yes i do agree that there is a group of 10-15 boarders who are complete douchebags but the rest really arn't that bad. And i personally know 11 legit skiiers who have passes this year so you probly wont be the only skier there. I do agree that alpine is very boarder oriented but it IS getting better.

well those 10-15 get followed by all the others, so they are all pretty much faggots.

You had a season pass there this past year?

Personally know 11? i know i skied park there this year more than any other skier, you must know me personally? haha, and im sorry but theres not a chance that theres 11.

Boarder oriented yes, getting better for a skier's point of view? naww same park crew manager forever, lazy piece of shit steve

Ive had a pass to alpine for 2 years and their park is pretty fun because they have three of them with decent variety but their park crew is a joke. They never change anything or maintain it. As for the boarders they are are all faggots. They all suck and just smoke swishers and talk shit and try to start fights, a bunch of scum. They are really lacking skiers, ive only really seen a few and I skied park a few times a week the whole season. Holly has a better jump line but I think alpine has more variety.

personally know of*

I'm not trying to say alpine is great at all, I am just trying to say what I have seen over the past couple of years being a gaper and riding around 10x a year and while the park management does still suck there are more skiiers and more people that i know that arnt douches that snowboard every year.

and i did not have a season last year as i couldnt fork out tho money at the beginning of the year.

just not a fan of the way they run things. They are pretty greedy when they don't need to be. I've never worked there, but a lot of my friends have, some for years, and they truly do not have whats best for everyone in mind.
