The sweetest skiing & boarding in Tahoe

Known for its rich history and deep powder, you'll find 1,500 acres of fun, challenging terrain, plus our new Main Lodge. We've poured over $50 million in improvements into our resort over the last few seasons.

Sugar Bowl's four picturesque peaks, two terrain parks, and half pipe are serviced by 12 lifts, including five high-speed detachable quads.

Over the past few winters, Celebrity terrain park builder J.P. Martin has crafted two extraordinary terrain parts here at Sugar Bowl. J.P joined the Sugar Bowl team in 2006 following a 10 year stint building hits and perfecting rails in Jackson Hole. Prior to finding his chosen trade of Park Designer / Builder for Jackson Hole, J.P. traveled the world, skiing and riding for extreme action films on 6 continents. The buzz around Sugar Bowl’s terrain parks grows every season. Come see what it is all about!!

Recreation

Recreational opportunities abound in the Lake Tahoe region. Beside skiing and boarding, the region offers, snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, shopping, night life and fantastic restaurants.

Room and Board

We highly suggest you find accommodations in the Donner Summit or Truckee area. However, Sugar Bowl does offer, for a fee, employee housing to qualified staff members.

Dorms: Some dorms are on-site at Sugar Bowl with 2-3 people per room and community bathrooms. Prices are affordable, ranging from $240 upto $260 per month including all utilities.

Semi-private rooms: All of these are located 3 miles away at Donner Summit Lodge. These rooms have 2-4 people per room with a private bathroom, and are $275-$300/month per person, including all utilities.

For all rooms, you must bring your own linens/pillows/towels. You must also bring a HEAVY comforter with you for your top sheet. Additionally, we cannot determine whether you will have a twin or double bed until you arrive, so bring a sleeping bag and buy sheets after you get here.
