Frequently Asked Questions about Visiting in Winter
冬季游览常见问题
Yosemite is amazing to visit in winter, but with winter conditions come extra complications. Winter conditions are common from November through March (but can can occur any time).
约塞米蒂国家公园冬季风光绝美，但严寒天气也会带来额外挑战。冬季气候通常从11月持续至次年3月（但可能随时出现）。
What weather should I expect?
天气状况如何？
The average high temperatures in Yosemite Valley are around 50°F (10°C); the average lows are around 30°F (-1°C). Sunny days are not uncommon, but cloudy or foggy conditions with rain or snow are possible.
约塞米蒂山谷日间平均高温约50°F（10°C），夜间平均低温约30°F（-1°C）。虽常有晴天，但也可能出现雨雪或雾霾天气。
Snow is sometimes present on the floor of Yosemite Valley and is usually present around 6,000 feet and above.
海拔6000英尺以上区域通常积雪，山谷地面偶尔也会有积雪。

Will I need tire chains?
需要防滑链吗？
Tire chains may be required for all vehicles everywhere in Yosemite and surrounding areas when roads are snowy or icy. Since chain requirements are based on weather and conditions, it's not possible to predict if you'll need tire chains at any given time. Chains are often required on roads both inside and outside of Yosemite from November through March, less often in October and April, and rarely in September or May. The El Portal Road (Highway 140) is lower in elevation and therefore has chain requirements less frequently than other roads entering Yosemite.
当道路积雪结冰时，约塞米蒂及周边地区可能要求所有车辆安装防滑链。由于规定取决于实时天气，无法提前预判需求。11月至3月最常见防滑链要求，10月与4月较少，9月或5月罕见。140号埃尔波特尔公路因海拔较低，相较其他入园道路较少要求防滑链。

Can I drive on Tioga Road?
能否驾驶穿越蒂奥加公
Tioga Road (the continuation of Highway 120 through the park) is usually closed due to snow from sometime in November until late May or June. During this time, Highways 108 and 4, which cross the Sierra Nevada north of Yosemite, are normally also closed. When the Tioga Road and other Sierra roads are closed, you'll need to use an alternate route to get to and from Yosemite to cross the Sierra Nevada.
120号公路蒂奥加路段（贯穿公园）通常因积雪于11月至次年5月下旬或6月封闭。同期内华达山脉北部的108号与4号公路通常也封闭。此时需绕行其他路线穿越山脉往返约塞米蒂。
How do I travel between Yosemite and Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes, Death Valley, or Las Vegas?
如何往返约塞米蒂与李维宁、猛犸山、死亡谷或拉斯维加斯？
Driving from these places to Yosemite when Tioga Road is closed (about November through late May or June) takes much longer, but is possible.
蒂奥加公路封闭期间（约11月至次年5月下旬或6月），从这些地区前往约塞米蒂耗时大幅增加但仍可通行。

What areas of Yosemite can I visit?
可游览哪些区域？
You can drive to Yosemite Valley, Wawona, Crane Flat, and Hetch Hetchy all year (although, tire chains may be required). Additionally, the Badger Pass Ski Area is open from about mid-December through March.
全年可驾车抵达约塞米蒂山谷、瓦沃纳、克雷恩平地及赫奇赫奇水库（可能需要防滑链）。此外，巴杰滑雪场通常于12月中旬至3月开放。
YARTS provides bus service to Yosemite Valley. During winter, there is no bus service outside of Yosemite Valley, except to Badger Pass. Bus service to or near giant sequoia groves is not available in winter.
约塞米蒂地区交通系统（YARTS）提供山谷接驳服务。冬季除巴杰滑雪场外，山谷外无公交服务，巨杉林区域冬季无接驳车。

Where can I stay?
住宿选择
During winter, four campgrounds remain open in Yosemite: Upper Pines (Yosemite Valley), Camp 4 (Yosemite Valley), Hodgdon Meadow (45 minutes northwest of Yosemite Valley), and Wawona (45 minutes south of Yosemite Valley). Additionally, numerous lodging areas remain open in the park throughout the winter.
冬季四个露营地开放：上松露营地（山谷）、4号营地（山谷）、霍奇顿草地营地（山谷西北45分钟车程）及瓦沃纳营地（山谷南45分钟车程）。园内多处住宿设施冬季持续营业。
Where can I hike?
徒步路线推荐
Where you can hike depends on how weather has been just prior to your visit. While it's not uncommon for hikes along the floor of Yosemite Valley and Hetch Hetchy to be mostly snow free, expect most trails to be snowy and/or icy.
建议配备冰爪鞋具和登山杖。积雪会掩盖步道痕迹，需依赖GPS导航（建议携带备用指南针）。必备手电/头灯（备用电池）、高能量食物和防水保暖衣物（羊毛/化纤材质）。出发前请至游客中心查询实时状况。
Winter traction devices for your shoes and trekking poles can be very helpful in icy conditions. Even with winter traction devices, hiking on snowy trails can be difficult. In addition to slowing you down, even a little bit of snow can completely obscure trails, requiring you to navigate by GPS (with map and compass as a backup in case of GPS failure). Bring a flashlight/headlamp (with extra batteries) and plenty of water and high-energy food. Wear wool or synthetic clothing, which keep you warm when wet (unlike cotton) and be prepared for sudden changes in weather. Stop by the Valley Visitor Center to check on conditions.

In winter, the consequences of an unplanned night out are more severe, so it is even more important to tell someone responsible where you are going and when you plan to return. Packing an extra jacket and hat, a couple of extra snacks, and a bit more water can turn such a night from a struggle for survival into an unpleasant but survivable experience.
冬季野外过夜风险极高，务必告知他人行程计划。额外携带外套、零食和饮水可将意外夜宿转化为可生存的糟糕体验。
Where can I go backpacking?
冬季背包旅行
From December through April, backpacking in Yosemite nearly always involves snow camping and travel by skis or snowshoes. Even in November and May, if you want to avoid snow, you're likely to be limited to trailheads in Yosemite Valley, Wawona, and Hetch Hetchy, and, even then, you'll have a difficult time finding multi-night, snow-free trips.
12月至4月需使用滑雪/雪鞋装备进行雪地露营。即使11月或5月，无雪多日行程也仅限山谷、瓦沃纳和赫奇赫奇区域。
A few marked winter trails are available for skiing or snowshoeing in the Glacier Point Road, Mariposaa Grove, and Crane Flat areas. Skiers and snowshoers traveling elsewhere should be prepared for traveling in avalanche zones.
冰川点公路、马里波萨树林和克雷恩平地等区域设有少量标记冬季步道，可供滑雪或雪鞋行走。若前往其他区域，滑雪者和雪鞋徒步者需做好应对雪崩地带的准备。
All backpackers should be competent at route finding, navigating by GPS (with map and compass as a backup in case of GPS failure), and winter camping. Be sure someone (other than a ranger) knows where you plan to go and when you plan to return, so they can notify the park if you're overdue.
所有背包客都必须具备以下能力：路线定位、GPS导航（需配备备用地图和指南针以防设备故障）以及冬季露营技能。同时，务必让至少一位非公园管理员的联系人知晓你的具体行程计划和预计返回时间，以便在你逾期未归时能及时通知公园管理部门。
Free wilderness permits and bear canister rentals ($5) are required and available at the Valley Visitor Center (open 9 am to 5 pm).
需在游客中心（早9点至晚5点开放）领取免费野外许可证，租用防熊罐（5美元）。
What else is there to do in winter?
其他冬季活动
The Yosemite Museum has an Indian Cultural Exhibit (open all year) and may have additional art exhibits. The Valley Visitor Center has an exhibit hall and two free films (both play every hours). Take a spin around the ice rink at Curry Village. Find more activities and services in the Yosemite Guide. Otherwise, you can take a short walk to the base of Lower Yosemite Fall or around Cook's Meadow, or out to Mirror Lake.
约塞米蒂博物馆全年开放印第安文化展；山谷游客中心设有展览厅和两部循环播放的免费影片。可前往 Curry Village 溜冰场，或徒步至下约塞米蒂瀑布、库克草地或镜湖。更多活动详见《约塞米蒂指南》。
