China Peak, briefly renamed Sierra Summit, is a ski area in Central California, near Fresno.

China Peak is located on the south shore of Huntington Lake, about 70 miles (110 km) northeast of Fresno.

Flint recognized the skiers in the San Joaquin Valley would have to drive to Lake Tahoe or Badger Pass, since there were no other resorts on the southwest side of the Sierras.

This eliminated the uncomfortable bump when chairs passed over tower wheels due to the typical external clamp design.

The first year was relatively successful, but it had been recognized that the lack of sleeping and food facilities in the area limited attendance.

Schwarz had set up a very simple snack bar and rental hut at the base and lived in a cabin near Shaver Lake, some 40 miles (64 km) away.

During his time at China Peak, Weirick and his wife Joanna were able to significantly grow the resort, adding additional chairlifts, a snowmaking system, and new buildings.
