Backcountry Ski Tours

Backcountry Ski Tours at Yosemite

When snow blankets the high country, Yosemite becomes completely open to exploration by winter travelers.  Discover the magic of Yosemite’s winters in the company of Yosemite Mountaineering School ski guides.  Stay in our warm and cozy ski huts, enjoy food prepared for you by fun and friendly guides, and maybe even get a few tips on skiing while learning about Yosemite ecology and wildlife.

Yosemite Mountaineering School operates two huts in the Yosemite area, the Glacier Point Ski Hut and a private hut in Tuolumne Meadows.  Our most popular trips are one- and two-night trips to the Glacier Point Ski Hut, but we also provide custom tours, and some longer adventures for advanced skiers to our hut in Tuolumne Meadows – either a trans-sierra tour or an out and back from Lee Vining to Tuolumne. 

Glacier Point Backcountry Ski Hut

Yosemite´s Glacier Point Ski Hut is located in one of the most spectacular sites in the Sierra overlooking Yosemite Valley, Half Dome and the Yosemite High Country.  A ten-and-a-half mile guided ski trip on intermediate groomed terrain through magnificent Yosemite backcountry takes you to the rustic accommodations of the beautiful stone and log building.

Testimonials

“I went on the highsierra camp loop in 1956 with a guide and loved it. It was the beginning of my love for Yosemite and the hihg country. I am now lucky to be able to do it again in 2010. I can´t wait to do it again. Wonderful experience. I am 78 years old and still can hike 8-10 miles. So you are never too old!!”
