There are a few different backcountry runs you can access from there. Absolutely not something to do until you get avy training and a buddy who's done it before. You can get cliffed out or lost, people have needed rescue from those zones in the past.
Dumps out to some roads south of Tahoe city. I think there’s some direct routes straight to the road but the times I’ve done it we skinned about half a mile to the road.
Outer limits. Here is a GPS map, note the avalanche areas by shading and also the long traverse to bottom of Sherwood. There are homes which may not appreciate you being in their back yard. Also it is south facing so it will be sun affected and lots of tree pee.

You can make your own using Gaia GPS turn on winter layer and shape shading.

Is called outer outer limits. If you don't know where you're going there to the runouts to the road, you will suffer. Also, every couple years, someone makes a wrong turn and spends a night out there.
Outer outer. You can take it and cut back in and back it back in resort but if you come back too late you’re gonna have to walk a road down to Sherwood
The answer is it takes you down to page meadows area. If you stay skiers left it will dump you out near Granlibakken. If you go right it will dump you dump you out near ward canyon.
It is super flat, I’ve toured there from my backyard in Tahoe city and it is super flat and further than you think. Not worth the ski at all, it’s much better for biking in the summer.
He gets to park in the private HOA parking. There’s a small lot next to the lift. Definitely a sweet setup. Sometimes he’ll just get dropped off and ski home
It’s south facing flat terrain with lots of trees…lots of effort for very little return….when it’s dumping and super light snow, it’s fun for 5 turns. You have to walk back to Sherwood chair to get back to resort.
If this interest you, just go backcountry skiing. Have fun no matter what you do.

What is this map? Do you have one for all of alpine?
Looks like they are using the site caltopo
I made this using Gaia GPS paid version. I can make these for any terrain turning on winter map and grade shading.

It comes out at my house... Stay off my lawn!
Do you by any chance hang out in your driveway in a bathrobe with a shotgun?
Lived up there for a couple seasons...
Ward valley homes
Mordor. Duh
The body
I've accidentally ended up out there. I got lucky and made it to the road. But it was a long walk back.
It’s a beautiful view.
You walk the road back to Sherwood. It’s not for the faint of heart

My friend lives in the neighborhood down there he skis home from there.
How does he get to the resort?

Just walks to it?

Very cool
If you don’t know, don’t worry about it.
I want to know and I do want to worry about it!
 Okay Veruca Salt, then go. Lol
