This winter I have 6 tickets with the choice of either mountain.
Past visits to Lake Tahoe I have mostly skied Kirkwood. Two times I drove to Squaw to listen to bombs going off and them not being sure when the mountain would open. Both times drove over to Alpine and had a good time skiing, but parts of the mountain were closed and I could not see the mountain at all.
I plan to ski at both hills. My question is when and in what conditions would you choose one over the other. Storm day? Day after storm? Weekend? Weekday?
I like to hike because the effort usually reaps the reward. Tight and steep, powder and trees are all good. Groomers I find boring and moguls become tiresome.
