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.

You have to go 28 miles to get to a ski resort in possession of a larger height difference.
    With 815 acres of skiable territory being without ski terrain won’t happen. The 1,600 feet of elevation difference is reasonably acceptable; Dodge Ridge makes excellent use of it. The inspiring 25 feet of yearly snowfall is more than enough for exceptionally great
coverage. This is a regular size ski hill having a medium altitude difference when you compare it to other ski resorts in the region. A little exercise and just being on the runs for a while will make you feel fine. There are 11 lifts here, and they are cool to take a ride with. This ski resort receives more snowfall than the local average each season. Dodge Ridge has a much higher than average share of black and red trails and a share of beginner and intermediate trails much lower than average. With a total of 59 trails  
to ski on; there are sufficient trails for every skill. This ski hill has a decent array of trails and an okay pick of ski lifts. Whether you're skiing or snowboarding, around here, you'll come upon a lot of fine ski hills. The natural loveliness of the California hills and all the nice runs are certain to keep you coming back for more. The snow covered highlands of California are always glorious for snowboarding and skiing. Please refer to the ski run map of Dodge Ridge on this net page for info. Some slopes here are real killers; so do safety-check your bindings. The highlands of the Central Sierra Nevada in wintertime are an unbelievably glorious place if you like snowboarding and skiing. Skiing here at Dodge Ridge always a cool experience with loads of expert and advanced runs. The snow blanketed highlands of the Central Sierra Nevada make for a glorious sight. The skiing and the snowboarding in this region is so much fun through the ski season. This ski mountain has a perfect set of runs; it's just not possible to get bored here. There aren’t any places to stay in the neighborhood, but if you're prepared to travel a short distance then no problem, but you'd better book ahead of going in view of the fact that these places to stay fill up quickly.
