Got my choice down to four - Snowboarding Forum

rklettke · 11-14-2011, 02:57 PM

So I'm lookin to get a season pass at one of these four resorts, they are all about equal in price and about the same distance from me... I've heard good and bad things about all of them so I'm at a stand still.

My choices are:
Kirkwood-slightly farther but heard slightly better
Dodge ridge-think its the closest,kinda tied with china peaks
China peaks-see dodge ridge...
Bear valley-same as kirkwood lol

What's do you guys think ?

Out of those, kirkwood.

what about mammoth or june?

what kind of riding do you do? what kind of terrain are you looking for?

Having spent a decent amount of time at all of those places except for China Peaks, Kirkwood beats the crap out of them all. Kirkwood is a world class resort. The rest are not. That about says it all right there...

Emm, having never been to China, Dodge, or Bear....I'd have to say Kirkwood.

It is Higher, Taller, all-around bigger, and gets a ton more snow than the other spots. Who the hell is giving you advice? Smack them, please.

If you're in college, KWOOD tripl3threat pass would be the obvious choice. Just picked mine up.

I'd still say Kirkwood out of all of them for the reason listed above.

Anything but parks. But that's Only cause they are. New to me lol. And thanks for the advice, wasn't aware kirkwood was considered so highly
