On each day of their visit, participants may enjoy an all-day lift ticket at Yosemite's Badger Pass Ski Area, an all-day rental (choose from skis, snowboard, or XC skis), a group lesson, tubing session, ice skating session and skate rental at the Curry Village Outdoor Ice Rink, and a two-hour, narrated Valley Floor Tour in a luxury motor coach.

The program also includes "3 Square Meals a Day," which consists of breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the Yosemite Lodge at the Falls Food Court, or at the Badger Pass Grill.

Founded in 1935, Yosemite's Badger Pass Ski Area enjoys the distinction of being California's first ski resort. Badger Pass is the gateway to some of the most beautiful vistas in the High Sierra, offering five convenient lifts and spacious groomed runs for downhill skiers and snowboarders, in addition to snowshoeing, snow tubing and cross-country ski trails.

The Yosemite Ski School was established in 1928 and has trained generations of first-time skiers, snowboarders and telemarkers. Private and group lessons are available daily, with specialized instruction for kids (four to six years old) participating in the Badger Pups program. Babysitting is also available for potty-trained children ages three to nine.

Badger Pass Ski Area is operated by DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite (DNC), an affiliate of Delaware North Companies and the authorized National Park Service concessionaire responsible for lodging, dining, guest recreation and transportation in Yosemite.
