Badger Pass opens to the delight of skiers and snowboarders

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Badger Pass Ski Area opened for the season Saturday.

California's original ski resort is located inside of Yosemite National Park and relies solely on nature, with no manmade snow. Badger Pass offers ten different runs and is the starting point for nearly 100 miles of cross country skiing and snowshoeing trails.

A spokesperson for the concessionaire said the conditions were great at the opening, and the staff are looking forward to a chance for more snow in the future.
