Besides the new paint on its old lodge, the Badger Pass Ski Area in Yosemite National Park now boasts state-of-the-art chairlifts -- Eagle and Badger -- with truly smooth rides. All of this and more as Badger Pass chalks up its 75th year as a ski area operating entirely within a national park.

I heard this story, don't know whether it is true or not...

Nic was hired to manage BP many years ago, but had never been to Yosemite.
He traveled by train to the Central Valley & was driven into the Yosemite Valley in a massive storm, so the first view he had of Yosemite was when he stepped out of the cabin into a crisp clear winter day. Just then his new boss turned up & said "So what do you think?"
Nic gazed around at the sheer walls covered with the driven snow & said "It's great!, but where will the beginners ski?"
