Badger Pass ski area, Central Sierra Nevada, California

Badger Pass ski area, Central Sierra Nevada, California

Badger Pass is the perfect place to learn to ski or snowboard. It has a really long bunny slope, and all the other trails are pretty easy too. The problem is that once you know how to ski without a V-shape thingy the place has little to offer. The staff is very friendly though. says Bob.

Badger Pass has the biggest drop from top to bottom among ski hills in a 89 mile radius. This ski resort has a much lower than average percentage of advanced and expert ski slopes and a much higher than average fraction of easy

    runs. There's 100 acres of ski terrain, and all of it makes for perfect skiing. All the 10 trails here are splendid. The phenomenal seasonal snowfall of 17 feet is one of the finest marks of this ski area. This ski hill has a fairly humble set of runs and a good
choice of good ski lifts. When this section of California is covered in fluffy snow; it is the most grandiose time of the year for snowboarding or skiing. With a 540 foot height difference it's not the highest hill there is, but Badger Pass has so many other nice attributes. Badger Pass is a relaxed ski area boasting a quite small drop from top to bottom when you compare it to other ski hills in the region. This ski hill gets blanketed by an average amount of snow each winter season. The mountains of the Central Sierra

Nevada make for a wonderful panorama. All 5 good ski lifts at this ski area make for a relaxing ride up the hill.
