Great place to start learning. It is high elevation than some others, so always keep chains or snow socks for your tires even if you're AWD or 4x4. This year I even went up here with my regular front wheel drive car with no problem, not much snow this year and weather is warming up earlier than usual.

Great ski slope for kids and beginners. If you are first time skier or still learning, this is the spot. The best thing, they give a guaranteed ski lesson that you can use until you are comfortable doing the green run. Instructor Andrew was really good. Thanks to him, I started a fresher and now can confidently ski green runs in just 2 days. DEfinitely coming back again for learn more.

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.

Is there a snow now ? And is the road clear ? I try to get direction but gmaps said can’t because of the road

ming poi | Dec 19, 2019
Erica Chuvichien | Dec 20, 2019

Yes, the roads are clear. Yes, there is snow. Going from merced, you can take highway 49 all the way in. Or take 49( mariposa) to 41(oakhurst). The 49 to 41 will take you through the iconic Yosemite Tunnel which everyone goes to take their pics with Halfdome and the waterfalls in the background. Yesterday there was a guy there with his daughter selling snow chains and also charging a $50 installation fee. He did a great job on ours. He dies take credit card and cash. Cash is cheaper. Chains aren't required for the lower elevations though and there's snow in the valley. Chains are currently required for higher elevations. So if you want to go skiing at Badger Pass your car must either have chains or be a 4x4 with snow tires.

When will the ski area be closing for the 2019-20 season? Anticipated last day?

Can you observe snow in the first days of December?

jmrb nenhun | Dec 19, 2019
gene henry ward | Dec 20, 2019

Claro que no. Its doesn't snow or get cold enough until mid to late December. Over the past ten years maybe 2, there was light snow in early December. So, no. This season 2018/2019 there was light snow early but not enough to be excited about. But there us plenty snow now.

Dash Mahabali | Dec 19, 2019
Joe George | Dec 20, 2019

Yes. Enter the park on 41, then several miles in, turn right onto Glacier Point Road and it will take you right there. Be aware that tire chains are recommended for Glacier Point Road. It was icy last week yet was still covered with sand/gravel mix despite the government shutdown.
