Alpine here also. Northstar sucks. Not very challanging and is by far the most crowded resort of them all. Once you arrive at the parking lot which is a total joy, it is almost 30 minutes before you are at the top of the gondola where the skiing starts. Then you stand in line for 20 minutes to get to the bottom of the lift that goes to the top. After another 20 minutes in line you finally are on your way to the top. If Rose and Northstar are your only options, pick Rose. If you think Alpine is too far, one thing is for sure: you would be on the snow at Alpine far ahead of Northstar, even though you arrived at Northstar 20 minutes sooner. Oh, and if you arrive at Northstar on a weekend after 9:30, chances are you will be parking at the airport and taking the shuttle, putting you on the snow by 11:00 if you are lucky.
