China Peak Ski Resort
China Peak Mountain Resort is fast becoming a premier ski resort in California. Riders looking to escape the mega resorts are flocking to the smaller resorts as they offer a unique experience. China Peak Mountain Resort is in the Sierra Nevada northeast of Fresno and looks out over scenic Huntington Lake.
Tucked high into the front side of the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges this wicked little resort continues to be overlooked when compared to Mammoth or Tahoe, but that’s just the way we like it. Now, locally owned and operated, China Peak Mountain Resort provides a big Sierra experience close to home - with total acreage, elevations, vertical rise and terrain comparable too many Lake Tahoe resorts.
Whilst everyone else is off riding the other resorts China Peak gives fresh turns for days on end after a great storm. With 27% of the resort graded to advanced and expert this ‘little’ resort packs a punch as well as being a haven for intermediate riders.
