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

XC Skiers gather in front of the Glacier Point 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. 

Please call us for more information and to make your reservation.

Testimonials

“We try to eat at the Mountain Room everytime we visit Yosemite. My son has Celiac Disease and in the past The Mountain Room has always been very accommodating. This time when I asked if a particular item was gluten-free, they presented a gluten-free menu. IN THE MIDDLE OF YOSEMITE!!! I can't tell you how great that is. It can be so difficult for my son to have a nice meal like everyone else, and there were a ton of delicious options on your gluten-free menu. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
