Not true.
ALL resorts are looking at this lawsuit, so it would be an industry change, not just Alpine. Nothing will really change till it's all resolved.

Squaw is amazing but super expensive...if you want a squaw pass try to work there part time or something so it's free. Alpine is sick too-I've had a pass there for two years and while it's smaller then Squaw, since it's the next mountain over it's similar terrain, and super fun. Boreal is fun to have a night pass for since they have a cool night park. Some places do a double pass ( I think northstar has one like that, I don't remember the other resort it's linked too) which could be cool.

Get an alpine pass and the boreal college midweek pass or sunday-friday pass. That's what I'll be doing next fall.

Squaw > Alpine but forget about squaw unless you work there or want to pay over $1200 for one pass. I would pay $50 to go there on the epic days though.

let's not blow this out of proportion.  northstar's jumps sucked, yes.  but they had a lot of fun and creative jibs.  jump-wise alpine killed northstar but northstar def had legit jibs.

Choose between Northstar, Squaw, and Alpine.  Or get Alpine and Northstar if you're 23 or younger.
