Yosemite Winter ClubThis webpage is to tell students about a way to save money on skiing/snowboarding during the annual De Anza College Outdoor Club winter trip to Yosemite.
At http://www.yosemitepark.com/BadgerPass_RentalPricing.aspx you will see that Lift tickets for 2009-10 weekends will be (as of the website in early 2010):
Adult (over 17) all day $42, half day $33
Senior (65 and older) all day $37, half day $30
If you act well before the trip you can go online and join the Yosemite Winter Club and save money. The Yosemite Winter Club (which has nothing to do with De Anza clubs) is made up mostly of Yosemite residents, but open to anyone.
The Yosemite Winter Club supports winter sports for youth. A $ 15 membership and a $20 "benefit card" gets you (from their website in early 2010) :
Three free days of skiing at Badger Pass
Three free ice skating sessions at Curry Village
A half price ice skating season pass
A discounted ski rental
(Black Out Dates: Benefit cards may not be used on the following dates: December 28th through January 1st, January 18th and February 15th through the 19th. )

Please note that extreme weather could close the Badger Pass ski resort and/or the ice rink and you would not be able to use the benefits unless you came back to the park.
