About
If your idea of the perfect winter retreat is to leave crowds and resorts behind and head into beautiful and isolated backcountry, retiring to a rustic ski hut at the end of the day, then Yosemite Conservancy and the National Park Service welcome you to Ostrander Ski Hut.
Nestled on the edge of a glacial cirque, beside stunning, crystal-clear Ostrander Lake (elevation 8,500 feet), Ostrander Ski Hut is a beacon for weary skiers intrepid enough to make the 10-mile trek from the Yosemite Ski & Snowboard Area. This historic building is a charming two-story stone structure beautifully crafted in 1941.
