Yosemite Ski and Snowboard Area Announces Due to Lack of Snow they will NOT be Opening this Season

The Yosemite Ski and Snowboard Area, formally Badger Pass, announced that due to a lack of snow, they will not open for the 2017-18 season. Another victim of this season’s lower snowfall and warmer temperatures.

Dodge Ridge, CA closed on 3rd February and are yet to reopen, and China Peak, CA closed 4th February and are still waiting for the weather to change before reopening.

In a Facebook post, Yosemite Ski and Snowboard Area said they are contacting season pass holders through email with the option of a season pass roll over to next winter, or a refund.

Thank you everyone for your patience. Unfortunately, there is not enough snow right now or in the near forecast to open, so the Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area will not open for the 2017-18 season. We are contacting all season pass holders via email to offer the option of a season pass roll over to the 2018-19 season or a refund. Thank you for your continued interest in California’s original ski area, and we hope to see you next year!
