Take the Alpine Bowl Chair. Go skier's right and over the southern ridge into Ward Canyon. The short, well-traveled hike accesses the Sherwood Bowls which include Sun Bowl, Big Bend Bowl, and SP Bowl. They stretch towards Twin Peaks in a beautiful arc of Lake Tahoe scenery. Wide, open, steep, and more than 600 acres to choose from, the High Traverse area makes for a springtime corn Mecca.
Squaw Valley has every type of terrain, facing just about every direction.
Some spring hangouts such as Sun Bowl or The Slot off Headwall chair don't require any hiking to their corn pleasures. On the other hand, there's much reward and pleasure for the enthusiast willing to do a little walking. Granite Chief is the highest peak at Squaw. Start from the top patrol shack at Granite Chief Chair where one must check in with the patrol. There is excellent advanced skiing when the upper chutes are filled in.
