The cheapest ticket on the mountain
Half-day, lower-lifts only — the most affordable way to ski Badger Pass. 12:30 PM to 4 PM on the Turtle and Bruin lifts. About three hours of skiing on the beginner-friendly lower terrain plus the terrain park.
When it makes sense
- Trying skiing for the first time. If you're not sure whether skiing is your thing, this is the lowest-commitment way to find out. Add a half-day rental and you're in for the smallest total spend on the hill.
- Combine with morning XC. Skate or classic in the morning on Glacier Point Road, switch to a half-day at the alpine resort for the afternoon. A classic Yosemite winter combo.
- Kids' second day. Did Badger Pups yesterday? Bring them back for an unsupervised half-day on the lower lifts to consolidate what they learned.
