Yosemite's first ski school opened in 1928 in Ahwahnee, but the first lift began operations in 1933 at a different location - Badger Pass. When a lodge was finally opened at Badger Pass in 1935, the ski school found its new home there. This image also appeared on the cover of a brochure promoting the area in the mid-1930s.
