I think those two are the most obvious 'pine' hops..

Northern brewer will give you some pine notes too

I'm creating a Piney sort of IPA right now in beersmith. I was thinking chinook for bittering, chinook, simcoe and galaxy for whirlpool and dry hops.

I really like Galaxy, and i made the galaxy xpa, and i found that hop to be clean and citrusy. Wondering how that would complement the piney/slight citrus of simcoe.
And wondering if i should equal parts simcoe/chinook/galaxy, or maybe tone down the galaxy to provide a sort of background citrus filler. Or should i scratch the galaxy, and go with Northern Brewer for an all out piney hop assault.
Also considering adding cedar and spruce tips to half of it, or just leaving it be.
