When the pandemic started we knew it was going to tough to stay profitable so I was happy to pay higher prices to support my favorite ski hill .Since 1978 I have seen some huge crowds but nothing I like 20/21 now I feel like I’m just being gouged because they proved skiers will pay mountain prices to stand in a lift line.The best thing aboutAlpine was their Tuesday Wens Thursday specials but they don’t need them anymore so my friends and I don’t take days off during the week to ski there we go to Devilshead on Sundays
