By Kimberly Lisagor On Generals Highway between Grant Grove and Giant Forest, this privately owned resort maintains more than 30 miles of groomed cross-country trails and a wide range of backcountry paths. The higher elevation here means the snow lasts longer - this is the place to go for spring skiing. You can rent or buy gear and pick up a trail map at the Montecito Sequoia ski shop.
Lessons are available, too.
A flat, easy trail leads to the far side of Lake Homavolo - a surprisingly scenic payoff for so little physical effort. Continue the short distance to Sunrise Bowl before retracing your steps. This detour adds a notable challenge to the Chimney Rock Loop. Work Outdoors at GORP Jobs Click Here. All rights reserved.
