Oakhurst, CA. (May 12, 2017) – As the cold winter is here, Visit Yosemite Madera County is encouraging people to get out and enjoy the winter activities in Yosemite National Park, Bass Lake and Madera County to keep your blood pumping and to beat the winter blues. 

Experiencing Yosemite and Madera County in what some call the most magical of seasons, winter.  This season offers breathtaking beauty, loads of fun and few crowds.

Enjoy snow in the high country with tubing, snowboarding, sledding, and ice-skating.  Relax at beautiful snow-covered Bass Lake while you snuggle up with a steamy beverage next to a crackling fire.

Lisa Cesaro, Marketing Manager from Yosemite Hospitality and Aramark said “Winter is a beautiful time to visit Yosemite National Park. Mild temperatures, smaller crowds and endless activities including ice skating, skiing, snowshoeing, food & wine events and hiking make it a perfect winter destination for the entire family.”

Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area has it all and makes it easy—from getting here to renting equipment to taking lessons. You'll find groomed trails perfect for cross-country skiers, chairlifts that take Alpine skiers to the top of the runs in minutes, a challenging terrain park for snowboarders and skiers to test their limits, and a tubing area where the whole family can experience the thrills together.

Therese Williams, Director of Public Relations and Sales said 'Winter is here and it is time to get out and enjoy all the winter activities.  According to health reports, getting out in the cold to exercise alleviates winter blues, therefore, this is another reason to get out and play for all levels and ages.”
