SILVER PEAK
SILVER PEAK
Silver Peak is located just east of the Sierra Crest between Squaw Valley and the Pole Creek drainage. There are skiable lines off essentially all aspects but the best aspects are the large east-facing bowl (avy terrain) and the north-facing treed terrain heading down toward Pole Creek. The photo is of the East Bowl from the bottom in lowish snow coverage.
