Original plan was to head up to N* on Sunday, but now im debating if i should go to Kirkwood instead, seems like kirkwood has way more snow.......

 

Love Kirkwood, never been to Northstar. Voted

 

kirkwood has had 4ft. of snow in the past 4 days! omfg.......i soo cant wait.

 

If you love steeps, chutes cliffs and the like, Kirkwood has it Northstar doesn't.

If you prefer intermediate to advanced level groomers, a few occasional bumps and some good tree skiing, Northstar doesn't suck, although the crowds there sometimes do- mostly at the base area though, it's never so bad up on the mountain or over on the back sides.

Sugar Bowl has a good mix of both types of terrain, but sometimes suffers the crowds as well.

But this weekend, for steep and deep- you'd better head to Kirkwood

 

Depends on your circumstances. If you are in a family who want a friendly atmosphere and no surprises, Flatstar is perfect. If you are intermediate/advanced and want more challenge - and usually more snow, Kirkwood is the better bet.

Pillowball: why vote for Kirkwood when you have never been to Northstar? For all you know it may be perfect for you (although it probably isn't )

 

kirkwood it is then....thanks guys! anyone going up sunday?

 

I was thinking of heading to Kirkwood this weekend, but I don't have anyone to go with.
