Frequently asked questions
Wondering how the workshop works? Confused about how to sign up?
How to get there?If you are flying in from outside of California, the nearest airport is Fresno International Airport. The most convenient way is to rent a car at the airport and then take Highway 41 towards Yosemite. It's a straightforward route, and the drive typically takes a little over an hour to reach Bass Lake.
Is there snow in March?The weather in March around our area can be quite unpredictable. We've experienced years with summer-like weather, while others have seen significant snowfall with up to 2 feet of snow. Typically, towards the end of March, the weather tends to be milder. Our resort is situated at an elevation of 3,300 feet, so even if there is some snow, it's usually not substantial, and the roads are regularly plowed to ensure safe access. While there might be plenty of snow at higher elevations in the mountains, rest assured that you can make it to our resort safely. Plus, we'll take care of your transportation to Yosemite, ensuring a worry-free journey for you.
Do I have to share the Cabin with anyone?Our room occupancy options are designed to offer you the best rates for your stay. If you don't have a companion to attend with for double occupancy, don't worry! When you apply, please express your interest in sharing a room, and we will make every effort to match you with another participant who is also looking for a roommate. This option is available for our chalets, which feature two beds per room.

For our suites, please note that there is only one king bed per room. If you are registering with someone you'd like to share a room with, you can choose the suite option and stay together. We're here to ensure your comfort and accommodate your preferences as best as we can.
What kind of food will you offer?Our food offerings are carefully curated to provide a delightful culinary experience during your stay. Our chef, in collaboration with the instructor, will handpick the menu to ensure a balance of options and variety. We aim to keep the dishes simple yet appealing to a wide range of tastes.
