Years ago.  I ski now.

The Valley is open, so is Wawona and Badger pass (the ski area).
The Park Service has free (they provide) snowshoe walks on weekends
at the "Pass."  Call the Park up for details.  It's also in the newsletter
given at the Entrance stations.  They are done twice a day on weekends
and last two hours.

Keep your feet apart.  You will learn why in the first fifteen seconds.

Chains: yes.  You bet.  If not on the car, then at least inside the car.
I had a friend who lived there roll her car (a 4WD) resulting in $8K damage.

My 2nd favorite use of a flame thrower is Carpenter's remake of "The Thing."
