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!
