Sierra offers varied terrain for all levels of skiers and riders around
its 2,000 acres (809 ha).
In total there are 46 trails accessed by 12
lifts, with a 2.5- mile (4-km) beginner trail, Sugar ‘n’ Spice, from
the summit. What’s different about Sierra, though, is that there are
also 600 acres (243 ha) of backcountry skiing and riding accessed via
five backcountry gates. For US$25 you can get instruction for advanced
skiers from a ski patrol guide.
