Probably the most challenging run at Alta Sierra, West woods needs good snowpack (3+ feet) to be skied but it is sweet and you can find powder for days after a good snow fall. Just don't go too far to the west. After Rancheria road, the next road is 35 miles downhill.

Sierra Summit is located at Huntington Lake in the Central Sierra about 50 miles East of Fresno off Rt. 168. Real fun mountain, great family atmosphere and inexpensive lodge (with cozy apres bar) located at the base. As the crow flies it is about 20 miles southwest of Mammoth Mtn, which means it gets plenty of snow.

snow shoeing or skiing?
That looks like a nice place to snowshoe with the family? What were you talking about?
