Sugar Bowl
Sugar Bowl is very popular with skiers
from the San Francisco and Sacramento areas because is is about 1/2 hour closer to home
than the three large north Lake Tahoe resorts (Squaw, Alpine, Northstar.) It is also
cheaper to ski here than at the larger resorts. Sugar Bowl often has the best snow
conditions in north Tahoe and despite being smaller, it offers more than enough terrain to
prevent any skier from becoming bored for at least one full day. Sugar Bowl has a good
reputation for providing a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. The best advanced skiing
at Sugar Bowl is usually directly below the upper half of the Silver Belt chair lift and,
if you're willing to hike just a little bit, off the east face of Mt Disney. The best
moguls are usually on the run called Market Street, accessible from the Disney chair.
Intermediate runs, which tend to be very well groomed, are available off every chair lift
at the resort. Beginners can have a great time skiing the green and blue runs off of the
Christmas Tree lift.
