Yosemite National Park Back-country Skiing Trips
We started at Badger Pass ski area, traveled along Glacier Point Road a ways before turning north on trail 18 towards Dewey Point. No camping is allowed at Dewey Point so we veered slightly west towards Crocker Point. On the second day we made a side trip to Stanford Point and Dewey Point.
We had a nice climb on Snow Creek Trail.
This route starts at the park’s South entrance and follows the Mariposa grove road to the lower and upper groves of giant sequoias and on to the Wawona Point Vista. A mix of road and trails are used to cover the entire Mariposa grove. It’s recommended to ski the upper grove counter clockwise since it’s less steep on the South and East legs.For more details visit:http://www.explorepangea.com/Activity/BackcountrySkiing/MariposaGrove.html

Went up to Ostrander Ski Hut in Yosemite National Park on Sunday February 5, 2012. On Monday, did a day tour of Horse Ridge. Returned to trail head on Tuesday February 7, 2012. It was a rad trip. Listened to the New York Giants beating the New England Patriots on my wind up AM radio Sunday night. Went up with a great group of people. Met Howard Weamer. This kind of trip...
