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.

The striking annual snowfall of 17 feet is one of the reasons this is such a fine ski resort. Badger Pass is a small ski mountain having a small elevation difference when you compare it to other ski hills in the region. The 10
    ski runs at this ski hill are totally fun. The annual snowfall is in the region of average at this ski hill. This ski area has a fairly humble mixture of runs and an ok total of different ski lifts. There are a lot of magnificent hotel rooms to choose from, and
if you make reservations before heading out, you're all set. Badger Pass has the largest elevation difference among ski hills in a 35 mile radius. This ski hill has a much lower than average fraction of red and black ski runs and a much higher than average proportion of intermediate or beginner runs. The best piece of info on this resort is unsurprisingly the ski run map of Badger Pass on this page. The 540 foot height difference is unsurprisingly not that much to boast about, but all the other fine attributes of Badger Pass  
compensate for it. Getting a splendid workout and an opportunity to spend some time in the outdoors attract snow folks from far and wide. This ski resort has 100 acres of skiing territory, and it's all in great condition. A heap of skiers travel up here from Madera, particularly on the weekends. All 5 different ski lifts at this ski hill will get you up the mountain efficiently. This is a delightful place for everybody with lots of intermediate or beginner ski runs. California gets very beautiful in wintertime; it is truly a pleasant time of year for skiing or snowboarding.
