With Snow on the Way, It�s Time to Play at Wuksachi Lodge
Sequoia National Park, CA � November 2010 � The Wuksachi Lodge, nestled in the center of Sequoia National Park, is the ideal place for Californians to enjoy winter snow without the typical ski resort congestion.

With the Sierra�s first major snowfall of the season expected (see forecast), the Wuksachi Lodge is ready to provide fun for adventurers of all ages while showcasing all the best aspects of winter in California.

Wuksachi�s winter adventure package is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast. Beginning at $125 per night, the package includes cross-country ski rentals for two so guests can explore the park�s glimmering Giant Forest or any number of well-marked ski trails that range in difficulty from beginner to challenging.

If you�d rather sip cocoa than sweat to warm up, the lodge�s winter snowshoe package might be a better fit. The package provides snowshoes for two and allows guests to sightsee at their own pace. Starting at $182, along with snowshoe rentals and overnight accommodations, this package also helps keep guests warm by giving them two keepsake thermoses full of hot cocoa.

If you plan on bringing the family, Wuksachi has you covered with its winter family fun package. People of all ages enjoy the snow and for the younger ones, this package includes a children�s sled that you can keep even after the kids are done zooming over fresh powder. Along with overnight accommodations, the package also includes snowshoe rentals for two adults and starts at just $136 per night (based on two adults and one child).
