Alpine or Kirkwood?
We are making our first trip to Tahoe over MLK weekend and I have it
narrowed down to Heavenly on Friday then Sierra on Saturday and then either Alpine or Kirkwood on Sunday. Between Alpine and Kirkwood which one will give us the most and longest blue runs, also, which one will be the least crowded? I did hear that Alpine is going to limit tickets over that weekend. I was thinking about Squaw but I thought it might be two crowded. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Kevin |

Kirkwood and Alpine are about the same in Blue runs and probably in crowd conditions also, but don't know which has the longest. |

"Two crowded"? here's my advice: Don't ski over MLK weekend because places
like Alpine Meadows can be three-crowded or even four-crowded. TCS (The Colorado Skier) Colorado Springs - Gateway to Colorado Ski Country |

Putting the pun aside, I've skied Alpine almost every day for the last couple of weeks and, in spite of claims that Xmus to NYears is a crowded disaster, haven't really been in a significant line more than 3 or 4 times. I think it really matters how you ski - if you come at 9:30 (with almost everyone) get on the slopes at 10:00 (with almost everyone) and want to ski the base access lift around 10:30 (with almost everyone) then anywhere will be crowded. The OP just needs to adjust his start time back 1.5 hours, take a break at 10:30, and resume skiing when almost everyone gos in for lunch. then anywhere will be uncrowded. |
