Full winter conditions exist at Lodgepole and at Giant Forest during the
months of December to March, when the Big Trees are surrounded by a
blanket of snow from 2 to 12 feet deep. The snow sports common to
northern climates and resorts are indulged in here during these months.
Skis, toboggans, and snowshoes may be rented from the operating
company, as well as heavy clothing desirable for this climate. The
winter sports have become so popular that it is advisable that
reservations for accommodations be made in advance.
