Dodge Ridge ski area, Central Sierra Nevada, California

I've been skiing Dodge since the early seventies. It seems to get better each year. The crowd that hangs there is warm and mixes well. It's fun to yell single just to see who turns up. See ya on the hill. says John S.:.

Dodge Ridge is a pretty small resort compared to other ones nearby but it's got some really really good runs to get your adrenaline pumping. I prefer this place to many other larger resorts nearby. says Tom.
