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.

Backcountry Equipment Rental Information: Snowshoe rentals are available at Sierra Nevada Adventure Supply Company in Downtown Sonora and Yosemite Basecamp in Groveland. Snowshoe and cross-country ski package rentals are available at Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort.
