Winter in Yosemite Country
Every winter, skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers — and families looking to play in the snow — are drawn to Tuolumne County, the closest snow destination to the San Francisco Bay Area. With easy access to the High Sierra and Yosemite National Park, Tuolumne County offers some of the best winter recreation in Northern California.
From alpine slopes to snowy meadows, High Sierra winter adventures await. Enjoy downhill skiing and snowboarding at Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort, go snow tubing at Leland Snowplay, or experience a classic winter tradition at the Long Barn Lodge Ice Rink. Surrounded by snow-covered trees and mountain views, Tuolumne County is the perfect place for both outdoor adventure and cozy winter fun.
