Sugar Bowl Ski Resort – Lake Tahoe Skiing

The basic Sugar Bowl recipe: Take everything you’ve got at Squaw, simmer until reduced by about a half, and add snow.

It’s well reported that Squaw Valley Ski Resort reports more snow in an average winter, but somehow the snow seems deeper and more plentiful at Sugar Bowl.

After all, it’s just a couple of miles from where the infamous Donner party got snowed in the grisly winter of 1847. Don’t sell the Sugar Bowl steeps short even if they actually are short; there’s some seriously challenging terrain here.

The Mt. Judah skiing is best for intermediates; novices will do better across the road at Donner Ski Ranch.
