Early season, not a whole lot of lifts or trails open... But overall good value for a "small" Mom and Pop operation, much quieter than the Vail resorts a bit further north. Great for a day trip. Haven't stayed overnight, accommodations look very dated. Lessons were good quality, both my wife and I ended up getting private lessons since no one else showed up in our skill level for the group lessons. Not a whole lot of dining options, better at the shack halfway up the mountain than at the lodge at the base.

China peak is a cool deal for locals being so close to Fresno, one of the cheaper resorts in CA but still relatively overpriced given what it is. Ski patrol employees here are spectacular, lifties can be kind of a pain sometimes w their attitude but its whatever. Decent ski area for people native to Fresno but I wouldnt say its really a ski destination for a far traveler.

China Peak is friendly to beginners as well as offering some of the most insane powder and high level riding. The views are insane and I like that they even offer jumps/ park style riding aside from crazy black diamond steep slopes for those who ride at the speed of light!
