Winter Activities in
Yoesmite Mariposa County
As the season’s first snowfall blankets the meadows and mountains, Yosemite National Park is transformed into a winter wonderland full of exciting adventures and winter activities for you and your family.

Many have the impression that when the first day of winter arrives in Yosemite, the whole place closes up tight until spring. They are mistaken, the Yosemite and its residents do not hibernate. There are notable changes in winter, but most of them add to the unique beauty of Yosemite during this special season. Much of Yosemite wears a covering of snow, and once-thundering waterfalls quiet themselves in frozen dormancy.

The Tioga and Glacier Point Roads close, and visitor activities center on such winter sports as skiing, snow-shoeing and skating. Whether its skiing the slopes of Badger Pass Ski Area, snowshoeing beneath a full moon, or ice skating with Half Dome as your backdrop, you’ll find yourself reconnecting with nature and each other.

NEW IN MAMMOTH LAKES THIS WINTER
Main Lodge Land Swap Finalized
Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and the U.S. Forest Service announced the completion of a land swap that sets the stage for transformational change at the third most-visited ski resort in the United States. The transaction gives Mammoth Mountain private ownership of the Main Lodge Base Area, a 35.7-acre parcel of previously leased Forest Service land. The land swap makes possible large-scale improvements to Mammoth’s Main Lodge base area, including the Mammoth Mountain Inn and surrounding infrastructure.
Coca-Cola Lounge
The Coca-Cola Lounge is an all-new space inside McCoy Station to recharge between runs, grab a snack and create your own favorite drink with a Coca-Cola freestyle machine. Offering various food options, drinks and photo ops, it’s the perfect spot to kick your feet up. The bottom floor of McCoy Station, located mid-mountain, has been converted into a completely renovated custom lounge for skiers and riders. Coca-Cola freestyle machines and float stations will be available for guest use
