Go snowshoeing in Yosemite

An excellent ski area for beginners and for someone who is looking to ski on a budget. If you only need access to the lower cable chair, it's only $30 and this is excellent for beginners. If you want to sign up for all cable chair access then it is $50 for half day, and I think $64 for full day access. I highly recommend this ski area to anyone who is looking to learn skiing or snowboarding. There is some space inside where you can store your boots, which is an additional option on top of $15 a day lockers. The cable chairs close at 4:00 and so does the restaurant. Closing the restaurant at 4:00 is uncalled for, because they would have made a lot more in revenue if they had just kept it running for an extra hour.

Went to ski here yesterday. For being a Saturday it was not too crowded. Took about 2 hours to get the rental part situated though and we arrived right at 9. Other than that the skii area was great. They have different levels so people who are learning can start out in the kiddie area and then move to the bigger slopes. You will need chains if you do not have a 4x4/AWD. You will have no cell service. They have a place to get food but we brought our own so can't speak on that but overall for it being my first time skiing it was a good experience. Didn't feel rushed or worried about there being an excessive amount of people.

What a hidden gem - a small local ski resort inside Yosemite National Park. The best part? Only $5 a run! Or you can pay for the day. Now don’t get TOO excited, it’s more a hill than a mountain but what it lacks for in size and vertical feet it makes up for in friendliness and novelty. The only ski resort located IN a national park! People were extremely nice and lift operations are smooth sailing. Great place to take a beginner. I’ve heard their ski and snowboard school is great, although we didn’t use them. Advanced skiers and snowboarders might get bored after a couple runs but hey, you are IN Yosemite. Pack a lunch, only downside was the food they offered - not great but will do in a pinch.

The place is great for family skiing, kids and beginners. There are 3 lifts and a variety of runs including green, blue and black. The best part is that it’s not crowded, no lines at the lifts. My daughter had fun in the ski school and we enjoyed a great two days of skiing. P.S. If you want to enroll kids at ski school make sure you arrive early.

Not the largest ski mountain but quite enjoyable and worth the price of admission. The front is a little disorganized (there could be better signage at the entrance telling to what to do and in what order--for example--buy lift passes, pay equipment rental fee, then walk over to get your ski equipment rentals, IN THAT order, as the lack of signage caused confusion among first time visitors. Other than that, a well groomed hill and not as small as ski hill as I anticipated. Overall a fun ski experience for a single day of skiing.
