DONT LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE squaw is way better if you can afford it. plus, if you go to alpine you have to deal with crappy rails and a fucked up pipe always. ive also always found alpine a bit depressing, like at alpine the food is crappy and its all kinda lame, but at squaw there is the village and a way better scene. trust me, squaw is the way to go if you want good skiing. if anyone tries to say that alpine has better terain, i will hunt you down and shoot you.
