The "snowboard park" is a bit of a joke ... just 2 jumps. Don't go for that.I went up to Waterman to ski the afternoon on Saturday Feb 23 and it was definitely worth it. I don't think I could've done a full day there since there just isn't enough terrain, but I had a blast and the drive was short and easy. On top of it, there was really no one there, and despite the lifts being slow, there was no line. I imagine when they open Chair 3 there will be more good terrain to access, but don't even bother taking Chair 2 if you like steep stuff, because it's all off of Chair 1. The tree runs are fantastic, and overall it really exceeded my expectations. For $35 for a half day, I'd say it can't be beat.

Only major change from 2007-2008 (re-opening year) was that "No Name Trail" under chair 3 was renamed "Brien's Shoot"

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.
