Replying to Help me choose a washington resort

For the amount of times I've been to Snoqualmie, I've never actually ridden at Alpental before. What's the terrain like? I had an Ikon this year and really only skied at Crystal, and I grew to really love the flow of the trails, if that makes sense. Having long runs all the way down the mountain with rollers and knuckles, cat tracks, side hits, all the little things along the way that none of the 3 main Snoqualmie summits have. Ikon took Crystal off the unlimited days resorts and I don't see why I'd pull $1150 out of my ass and drive 4 hours round trip every weekend, so I'm deciding between a Steven's premium pass or an unlimited pass at Snoqualmie for this next season. Steven's seems like the better option for what I want, but I wanted to ask about Alpental and see if it's enough to justify going for Snoqualmie since all my friends go for the park.
